Summary:

In this module, we will consider the building as part of the new smart grid. Distributed renewable energy technologies pose a challenge The building itself need to be reconsidered to adapt to this new variable grid with innovative interfaces to the grid and control capabilities that exploit the flexibility aspect with adapting strategies to optimize the variable and discontinuous condition of the smart grid. Concepts related with flexibility are analysed such as load shifting, loads covering, and time responsiveness of building controls, energy systems and occupant interaction with a focus on how to translate this into building energy models.
