In this study, end-use storage loads with elasticity constrained by a time window are modelled by a particle hopping cellular automaton. The automaton model is introduced and parameterised to obtain results on the ideal load-shifting response. Simulation is used to analyse the intrinsic limitations of load-shifting ramping capabilities. New concepts are introduced: load particle velocity and particle density. These concepts are used to advance formal hypotheses on the ramping limitations. Hypotheses are tested against experimental results to conclude about the underlying potential of load-shifting demand response.
