Potential of energy management systems in residential buildings

A simulation model is introduced that represents an energy management system for residential buildings in combination with an electric vehicle. The optimization part of the simulation minimizes the overall operational energy cost for the household while satisfying a wide range of constraints including behavior of residents and technical properties. The simulation results show that scheduling of devices in an optimized way leads to smoother load curves and less energy cost in comparison to a reference case.     «
