Building Energy Flexibility and Demand Management

Building Energy Flexibility and Demand Management looks at the high penetration of intermittent renewable energy sources and the need for increased flexibility. Ensuring electrical power systems adapt to dynamic energy demand and supply conditions, the book supports the transition to a renewable energy future with current fluctuating power generation. By facilitating the penetration of renewable energy sources into the building sector, and balancing electricity supply with demand in real-time, this book will provide fundamental concepts, theories, and methods to understand, quantify, design and optimize building energy flexibility. In addition, the book also provides case studies with emerging technologies to enhance building energy flexibility and demonstrate how demand management strategies can utilize energy flexibility for demand reduction and load shifting. It will be useful for all those researchers and engineers working in flexible energy systems and advanced demand side management strategies. Focuses on how renewable energy and storage technologies can be appropriately designed and optimized to increase building energy flexibility Discusses how building energy flexibility can contribute to reduced operating costs and grid optimization Details how to effectively implement building energy flexibility for demand response, peak demand reduction and peak load shifting INDICE: Section I: Foundational information and methods 1.
