| dc.description.abstract | We introduce DGSim, a flexible and scalable framework for simulating household energy consumption. Traditional energy simulation tools often struggle with configurability across diverse household types and scalability to urban and regional scales. First, we explore DGSim’s ability to adapt to different appliance configurations and household structures, allowing precise modeling of varied consumption patterns. Second, we implement a multi-faceted configurability approach, enabling detailed customization for appliances, usage patterns, and community demographics. Third, we enhance scalability with optimizations that support large-scale simulations involving millions of instances, allowing DGSim to model energy use across residential communities. Our evaluation demonstrates DGSim’s capability to provide insights for demand-side management, highlighting its benefits over existing simulation frameworks for both detailed and large-scale residential energy analysis. | |
