Introducing demand side management by adding heat pumps and thermal storage increases self-consumption from domestic PV systems as well as local autonomy of the household. Such effects have been analyzed for different building standards and as a function of storage capacity. Self-consumption levels of 55% to 65% from a PV installation of 5.5 kWp can be reached in the case of a 4-person household with...
In a renewable energy community the energy demand must be supplied on-site using renewable sources. Energy storage systems and load management are key factors to achieve energy balance. This paper presents the performance comparison, based on software simulations, of two different arrangements of a theoretical renewable energy community in the German city Cottbus. Electricity is generated from photovoltaic...
The rising of electricity and heating prices due to primary energy resources scarcity will drive households to generate their own energy on-site using renewable sources. Energy generation potential and energy demand are directly proportional to specific geographic location and urban density. This paper presents an analysis, based on software simulations, of different on-site electricity and heating...
This paper presents a control strategy for the operation of an autonomous distributed generation system (DGS) that includes multiple energy carries, storage devices and wind energy. The simulation is performed for the heat and electricity demand of 200 households. The proposed control strategy provides suitable performance results and improved energy efficiency for the system under study.
In this work, two main renewable energy resources are considered, the solar energy and biomass energy. The mathematical model and simulation of the global space heating system components (the thermal and the electrical subsystems) are developed. It is observed that the overall power management strategy is effective and the power flows among the PV arrays, batteries and the load demand is balanced...
There is a need to improve the delivery of energy services, and utilizing distributed energy resources offers significant potential. We propose an energy service modeling technique that would capture temporal variations of its demand and value, and differentiate it from the electric energy consumed by the end-use equipment. We then use this technique with a novel energy service simulation platform...
