field unit_commitment_mode: Annotated[UnitCommitmentMethod, Metadata(category=FieldCategory.OPERATIONS)] = UnitCommitmentMethod.LINEAR

To strictly the number of shift events, set to integer. Otherwise, the default is ‘linear’ and does not fully limit the number of events. Linear is the default, because this is a much simpler optimization problem and you will see minimal increase in run time. This is an acceptable assumption for many projects if you are modeling a large area which could have several Demand Response programs in different locations, each with their own call limits. When modeling smaller geographic areas, or if the project needs strict call limits set the unit_commitment attribute to ‘integer’. Note that this will increase the run time. How much will vary depending on the model complexity, but a good rule of thumb is to assume 1.5x the run time if the variables were linear.

Flexible loads formulation is based on [1]

The FlexLoadResource class represent resources that perform demand response by shifting its load profile to reduce consumption during high demand periods without sacrificing end-user interests. Flexible Load Resources are also commonly referred to as “Shift DR”. Examples of flexible load resources include water heaters, electric vehicle chargers, and smart thermostats. FlexLoadResource inherit all attributes and constraints from ShedDrResource and StorageResource. The following are required inputs are not unique to FlexLoadResource but should be considered carefully.

Hourly shift up and down limits:

The hourly flexibility of a resource depends on the baseline load shape assumed. Baseline load shapes determine the amount of head room that a resource can charge or discharge in each hour, as illustrated in the figure below. The baseline load shape of a flexible load resource is included in the system load profile, so any power input or power output is a deviation from the assumed default shape. This concept is unique to flex loads.

The hourly shift limits are input into Recap as power_output_max and power_input_max timeseries profiles. Power_input_max represents maximum “headroom” on loads, for example the number of “plugged in” devices minus the ( unshifted) baseline load of those devices. Power_output_max limits represent the portion of the (unshifted) baseline load that could be reduced in an hour while still maintaining an acceptable amount of “service” (cooling buildings, pumping water, etc).

Example HVAC Resource Hourly Power Input and Output Limits

Energy mileage:

For many loads there is significant potential to shift loads up and down for each hour. However, it is not acceptable for the end-user for the load to be shifted more than its underlying consumption or an energy budget. Limits on the MWh of shiftable load per day are enforced in Kit using the input ‘energy_budget_daily’. There are also optional ‘energy_budget_monthly’ and ‘energy_budget_annual’ options, but only ‘energy_budget_daily’ is required for all FlexLoadResource. Please note: the energy budget is only for the power_output of the resource, shifting will enforce an equivalent amount of power_input and therefore the actual mileage allowed will be double the input.
