Download or read book Modelling of Distributed Energy Components and Optimization of Energy Vector Dispatch Within Smart Energy Systems written by QingHao Kong and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page 81 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The smart energy system concept provides an integrated framework for the adoption of renewable energy resources and novel energy technologies, such as distributed battery energy storage systems and electric vehicles. In this effort, large-scale transition towards smart energy systems can significantly reduce the environmental emissions of energy production, while leveraging the compatible operation of numerous distributed grid components to improve upon the energy utility, reliability, and flexibility of existing power grids. Most importantly, transitioning from fossil fuels to renewable energy resources provides environmental benefits within both the building and transportation sectors, which must adapt to address both increasing pressure from international climate change-related policy-making, as well as to meet the increasing power demands of future generations. In the case of building operation, the transition towards future energy systems consequently result in the adoption of decentralized energy networks as well as various distributed energy generation, conversion, and storage technologies. As such, there is significant potential for existing systems to adopt more economic and efficient operating strategies, which may manifest in novel operational modes such as demand-response programs, islanded operation, and optimized energy vector dispatch within local systems. Furthermore, new planning and design considerations can provide economic, environmental, and energy efficiency benefits. While these potential benefits have been justified in existing literature, there is still a strong research need to quantify the impacts of optimal building operation within these criteria, under a smart energy system context. Meanwhile, the transportation sector may benefit from the smart energy network concept by leveraging electric mobility technologies and by transitioning vehicle charging demand onto the grid's electricity network. In this transition, the emissions associated with fossil fuel consumption are displaced by grid-generated electricity, much of which may be derived from zero-emission resources in systems containing high renewable generation capacities. While small electric vehicle fleets have currently been successfully integrated into the grid, higher market penetration rates of electric vehicles demand significantly more charging infrastructure. In consideration of the consequences of various electric vehicle charging modes resulting from large-scale mobility electrification, there is a gap in the literature for the planning and design of charging infrastructure for facilitating interactions between electric vehicle fleets and future smart energy network systems. Within the work presented in this thesis, quantitative analysis has been presented for the potential for optimal building operation between complementary commercial and residential building types. From this, the economic and environmental benefits of applying the principles of smart energy systems within mixed residential and commercial hubs have been evaluated at reductions of 61.2% and 1.29%, respectively, under the context of an Ontario, Canada case study. Furthermore, reduced installation of local energy storage systems and consumption of grid-derived electricity were reduced by 6.7% and 13.8%, respectively, in comparison against base case scenarios in which buildings were operated independent of the proposed microgrid configuration. Meanwhile, the investigative work for the role of charging infrastructure in electric vehicle integration within smart energy systems provided insight into the power flow characteristics required to facilitate advanced electric vehicle charging modes. Most importantly, the work demonstrated limitations to the controlled/smart charging and the vehicle-to-grid charging modes imposed by charging port availability, electric vehicle plug-in durations, and maximum power flow characteristics. These results have highlighted the need for charging infrastructure to emulate the availability and fast response characteristics of stationary energy storage systems for successful vehicle-to-grid implementation, as well as the need for maximum power flow limitations for charging infrastructure to be well above the current level 2 standard for home- and workplace-charging.

Download or read book Energy Optimizations for Smart Buildings and Smart Grids written by Aditya K. Mishra and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Modern buildings are heavy power consumers. For instance, of the total electricity consumed in the US, 75% is consumed in the residential and commercial buildings. This consumption is not evenly distributed over time. Typical consumption profile exhibits several peaks and troughs. The peakiness, in turn, dictates the electric grid's generation, transmission and distribution costs, and also the associated carbon emissions. This thesis discusses challenges involved in achieving the sustainability goals in buildings and electric grids. It investigates building and grid energy footprint optimization techniques to achieve the following goals: 1) making buildings energy efficient, 2) cutting building's electricity bills, 3) cutting utility's costs in electricity generation and distribution, 4) reducing carbon footprints, and 5) making the aggregate electricity consumption profile grid-friendly. In this thesis, we first design SmartCap, a system to enable homes flatten their consumption/demand by scheduling background loads (such as A/Cs, refrigerator), without causing user discomfort and without direct user involvement. Demand flattening facilitates aggregate peak reduction, which in turn enables grids to 1) reduce carbon emissions, and 2) cut installation and operational costs. Our results demonstrate that SmartCap can decrease the average deviation from mean power by over 20% across all periods with high deviation, thereby flattening the peaky demand. Next, we present SmartCharge, an intelligent battery charging system that shifts a building's electricity consumption to off-peak periods by storing low-cost energy for use during high-cost periods, without active user involvement. We show that SmartCharge can typically save 10-15% in bills and can reduce the grid-wide peak demand by up to 20%. We then extend SmartCharge to GreenCharge, which integrates on-site renewables in a building's electricity consumption. Our experiments show that GreenCharge can cut user electricity bills up to 20%. After GreenCharge, we investigate the use of large-scale distributed energy storage at buildings throughout the grid to flatten grid demand, while 1) maintaining end-user incentives for storage adoption at grid-scale, and 2) ensuring grid stability. We design PeakCharge, an online peak-aware charging algorithm to optimize the use of energy storage in the presence of a peak demand surcharge. Empirical evaluations show that total storage capacity required by PeakCharge to flatten grid demand is within 18% of the capacity required by a centralized system. Finally, we examine the efficacy of employing different combinations of energy storage technologies at different levels of the grid's distribution hierarchy to cut electric utility's daily operational costs. We present an optimization framework for modeling the primary characteristics of various energy storage technologies and important tradeoffs in placing different storage technologies at different levels of the distribution hierarchy. We show that by employing hybrid storage technologies at multiple levels of the distribution hierarchy, utilities can reduce their daily operating costs due to distributing electricity by up to 12%.
