Bottom-up Quantification Of The Flexibility Potential Of Buildings
Bottom-up Quantification Of The Flexibility Potential Of Buildings
Roel DE CONINCK, Lieve HELSENDOI: https://doi.org/10.26868/25222708.2013.1119Abstract: The smart grid paradigm implies flexible demand and/or energy storage in order to cope with the stochastic behaviour of renewable energy sources. The building stock is often put forward as a potential supplier of flexibility services through demand side management (DSM) and distributed energy storage, partly as thermal energy. This paper presents a bottom-up approach for the quantification of this flexibility service in the form of cost functions. The cost functions are computed from the solution of optimal control problems with low-order models. The method is generic and can be applied to heating, ventilation and airconditioning (HVAC) services, thermal energy storage (TES) and local electricity production. Pages: 3250 - 3258 Paper:
