This paper gives an overview of grid impact indicators that could be used to assess the impact of the energy exchange with a single intelligent building on the electricity grid. Seven indicators are given, the capacity factor, loss of load probability, cover factor, one percent peak power, peaks above limit, dimensioning rate and kVA credit. An example of a building simulation is used to show what...
The objective of this study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of model predictive control (MPC) in reducing the energy and demand costs for buildings in an electricity grid with time-of-use pricing and demand charges. A virtual model for a single floor, multi-zone commercial building equipped with a variable air volume (VAV) cooling system is built by Energyplus. Real-time data exchange between...
In this paper, a multi-agent based control framework is proposed for energy and comfort management in integrated smart building and micro-grid systems. This micro-grid system operates independently from the power grid, and distributed renewable resources including solar, wind, and batteries supply power to the whole building. A multi-agent control system with particle swarm optimizer (PSO) is developed...
