Distributed energy resources (DERs) and smart loads have the potential to provide flexibility to the distribution system operation. A coordinated optimization approach is proposed in this paper to actively manage DERs and smart loads in distribution systems to achieve the optimal operation status. A three-phase unbalanced Optimal Power Flow (OPF) problem is developed to determine the output from DERs...
Intelligent buildings are a trend of next-generation's buildings, which facilitate intelligent control of the building in order to fulfill occupants' comfort demands. The primary objective in building control is to achieve a comfortable building environment with high energy efficiency. By dividing the whole building into several zones, a multi-zone building model is built for developing an effective...
From the perspective of system control, the smart and green building is a large-scale dynamic system with high complexity and huge amount of information. Proper combination of the available information and effective control of the overall building system turn out to be a big challenge. In this study, we proposed a building indoor energy and comfort management model based on information fusion using...
Smart buildings are becoming a trend of next-generation's commercial buildings, which facilitate intelligent control of the building to fulfill occupants' needs. The primary issue of building control is that the energy consumption and the comfort value in a building environment are inevitably conflicting with each other. To study the relation between energy consumption and occupants' comfort, a multi-agent...
The smart building and plug-in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) are two promising emerging technologies. The integration of these two technologies shows great promise in reinforcing the reliability and flexibility in building energy management. The control challenge of the smart building is to maximize the customer comfort with minimum power consumption. Multi-agent technology with particle swarm optimization...
In this paper, a multi-agent intelligent control system is applied to design a control system for smart and sustainable buildings. Smart and sustainable buildings require solving conflicts between energy consumption and indoor comfort level. Also, user preferences should be taken consideration in the control system design. Hierarchical control architecture is introduced and utilized to design such...
