Cover Story: This study focused on energy flexibility and explored the DR potential of city-scale building clusters under pre-cooling strategies through urban building energy modeling (UBEM), using AutoBPS-DR, a tool for automatically generating DR models, combined with EnergyPlus to simulate the energy consumption of Shenzhen building clusters under different pre-cooling scenarios. The results showed that the effectiveness of pre-cooling is related to pre-cooling time and temperature, building type and scale, thermal mass, and ToU electricity price. This paper provides valuable suggestions for policy formulation to achieve grid flexibility and stability, advancing DR while outlining a reference solution for cities facing similar energy challenges.
