Abstract: Demand side management is becoming a promising solution to overcome the load imbalance caused by unpredictable electricity generation from renewable energy systems. To avoid the critical situations, engagement of buildings is important to support electrical grid for a reliable operation. This study investigates the potential energy flexibility of a university building by optimizing the operation of combined heat and power unit, chiller, thermal storage and ventilation system with rule based control and model predictive control. Set point of running water temperature, indoor temperature and CO 2 level are regulated as control variables. The building load profile is obtained by IDA-ICE. Historical day-ahead prices and dynamic CO 2 intensity data for the grid are used as penalty signals.
