| dc.description.abstract | With the aid of demand response, this paper examines the impact of heating, cooling, ventilation, electrical vehicles and solar panels/photovoltaic (PVs) of a commercial building on the distribution grid. It also categorizes and addresses energy flexibility enhancement techniques for demand responsive regulation of grid-interactive buildings based on a thorough scrutiny of building test findings on both the supply and demand side. Renewable energy such as solar, as well as HVAC systems, energy storage, thermal mass storage, and occupant’s behaviour are common examples of flexibility.
Demand response is an essential part for improving energy flexibility and efficiency without any additional expenditure for owning any smart appliances. Buildings can become more robust in terms of electricity demand from the power grid with the help of sophisticated demand response (DR) management techniques and initiatives. In this manner buildings achieve a higher capacity to manage variations between electricity supply and demand.
The present findings of building energy use are discussed below which includes energy consumption during the workday and on weekends. The usage data examined includes a one-year cycle. The aim of this analysis is to assess the current state of these buildings in order to investigate the opportunities and constraints for implementing various energy efficiency steps.
This study will find flexibility which can then be integrated with Enfo (Flextools) to the local market and will be used by energy provider for stabilizing the grid system in case of power imbalance from fluctuation at renewable energy sources. In this paper the author provides an overview of the flexibility potential in a commercial building in Larvik, Norway. That can be used as a reference for other commercial and residential buildings throughout Norway. To analyse and calculate total flexibility of the building Envo-AS system was used to provide with live data as well as logs the data on their cloud bases EMS solution to be used to optimize the building and its flexibility using Demand Side Management (DSM). Tests were performed to measure the thermal inertia of the building since HVAC’s consumes most amount of energy in most of the buildings. Envo logs all the data from sub-meters even parking but Zaptec Management system is used for adjusting power management on all Zaptec charging station in the parking facility. | |
