Description
Summary:In this study, an effective energy management system (EMS) for application in integrated building and microgrid system is introduced and implemented as a multi-objective optimisation problem. The proposed architecture covers different key modelling aspects such as distributed heat and electricity generation characteristics, heat transfer and thermal dynamics of sustainable residential buildings and load scheduling potentials of household appliances with associated constraints. Through various simulation studies under different working scenarios with real data, different system constraints and user's objectives, the effectiveness and applicability of the proposed model are studied and validated compared with the existing residential EMSs. The simulation results demonstrate that the proposed EMS has the capability not only to conserve energy in sustainable homes and microgrid system and to reduce energy consumption costs accordingly, but also to satisfy user's comfort level through optimal scheduling and operation management of both demand and supply sides.
