| Abstract | The electricity and heat generation sector have the highest proportion of greenhouse gas emission that comes from the combustion of fossil fuels. An increase in electricity production obtained from renewable energy resources is a key factor for a decrease in carbon emission. This paper introduces a new methodology for the Demand-Side Renewable Portfolio Standard (D-RPS) that focuses directly on electric power consumers. An effective implementation process is described for building owners to follow the novel D-RPS policy, which includes three stages - (i) numerical calculations of D-RPS value, (ii) assessment of target achievement, and (iii) corrective action to achieve the target. D-RPS can be applied for all types of buildings calculated by using data from monthly electricity bill measured in Kilowatt-Hour (kWh). The results show that D-RPS values of three different residential test-buildings are 332.7kWh, 587.35 kWh, and 694.05 kWh respectively. This shows the variation of D-RPS values based on the monthly electricity usage of each household. Residential building #1 could generate electricity upon the proposed criteria on a monthly basis. Meanwhile, residential buildings #2 and #3, applying the Time of Use (TOU) meter types have high electricity consumption and could not meet the proposed criteria in some months. As a result, these households must follow the D-RPS to meet the criteria. The simulation results illustrate that after implementing the D-RPS, the CO2 emission caused by electricity consumption is reduced significantly in residential building #1 up to 164.35 kg-CO2, residential building #2 up to 290.15 kg-CO2, and residential building #3 at 342.86 kg-CO2. It is envisaged that applying D-RPS policy in different buildings could potentially eliminate the carbon dioxide emission from traditional power consumption. |
