Demand Side Management for Thermally Activated Building Systems based on Multiple Linear Regression
(2015)
There is a growing trend for the use of thermo-active building systems (TABS) for the heating and cooling of buildings, because these systems are known to be very economical and efficient. However, their control is complicated due to the large thermal inertia, and their parameterization is time-consuming. With conventional TABS-control strategies, the required thermal comfort in buildings can often not be maintained, particularly if the internal heat sources are suddenly changed. This paper shows measurement results and evaluations of the operation of a novel adaptive and predictive calculation method, based on a multiple linear regression (AMLR) for the control of TABS. The measurement results are compared with the standard TABS strategy. The results show that the electrical pump energy could be reduced by more than 86%. Including the weather adjustment, it could be demonstrated that thermal energy savings of over 41% could be reached. In addition, the thermal comfort could be improved due to the possibility to specify mean room set-point temperatures. With the AMLR, comfort category I of the comfort norms ISO 7730 and DIN EN 15251 are observed in about 95% of occasions. With the standard TABS strategy, only about 24% are within category I.

The building sector is one of the main consumers of energy. Therefore, heating and cooling concepts for renewable energy sources become increasingly important. For this purpose, low-temperature systems such as thermo-active building systems (TABS) are particularly suitable. This paper presents results of the use of a novel adaptive and predictive computation method, based on multiple linear regression (AMLR) for the control of TABS in a passive seminar building. Detailed comparisons are shown between the standard TABS and AMLR strategies over a period of nine months each. In addition to the reduction of thermal energy use by approx. 26% and a significant reduction of the TABS pump operation time, this paper focuses on investment savings in a passive seminar building through the use of the AMLR strategy. This includes the reduction of peak power of the chilled beams (auxiliary system) as well as a simplification of the TABS hydronic circuit and the saving of an external temperature sensor. The AMLR proves its practicality by learning from the historical building operation, by dealing with forecasting errors and it is easy to integrate into a building automation system.
Für die solarunterstützte CO2-neutrale Nahwärmeversorgung des Neubaugebiets Hülben in Holzgerlingen wurden Holzpelletskessel mit einer 249m²-großen Solaranlage kombiniert. Im ersten Intensivmessjahr vom 01.03.2007 bis 29.02.2008 wurde eine Gesamt-Wärmeabgabe ins Nahwärmenetz von 920.606 kWh gemessen, wobei der solare Anteil bei 84.033 kWh lag. Es wurden ein Systemnutzungsgrad von 23,8 % und ein solarer Deckungsanteil von 9,5% gemessen. Die vom Lieferanten abgegebene Energiegarantie wurde in der ersten Intensivmessphase nicht erreicht.
In this study, a high-performance controller is proposed for single-phase grid-tied energy storage systems (ESSs). To control power factor and current harmonics and manage time-shifting of energy, the ESS is required to have low steady-state error and fast transient response. It is well known that fast controllers often lack the required steady-state accuracy and trade-off is inevitable. A hybrid control system is therefore presented that combines a simple yet fast proportional derivative controller with a repetitive controller which is a type of learning controller with small steady-state error, suitable for applications with periodic grid current harmonic waveforms. This results in an improved system with distortion-free, high power factor grid current. The proposed controller model is developed and design parameters are presented. The stability analysis for the proposed system is provided and the theoretical analysis is verified through stability, transient and steady-state simulations.
The uncertain and time-variant nature of renewable energy results in the need to deal with peaks in the production of energy. One approach is to achieve a load shift and thereby help balancing the grid by using thermally Activated Building Systems (TABS). Control systems currently in place do not exploit the full potential of TABS. This paper reviews how Model Predictive Control can possibly reduce the fluctuations of the demand and supply of (renewable) energy as it enables the TABS to react to the dynamics of weather and its impact on the grid at any time.

Während solare Kleinanlagen (bis 30m² Kollektorfläche) zur Trinkwassererwärmung und Heizungsunterstützung weitgehend standardisiert und weit verbreitet sind, besteht bei Großanlagen, speziell bei den nicht ausschließlich zur Trinkwassererwärmung genutzten Anlagen, noch Entwicklungsbedarf. Eine Standardisierung der Anlagen ist in diesem Bereich auch nur bedingt möglich, da die Voraussetzungen für die Einbindung solcher Anlagen, insbesondere in bestehende Heizungsanlagen, sehr unterschiedlich und dementsprechend individuelle Anpassungen notwendig sind.
Trotzdem finden solare Großanlagen in vielen Fällen Anwendung. Neben der bereits erwähnten Nutzung zur Warmwasserbereitung werden sie heute auch als Kombianlagen zur zusätzlichen Heizungsunterstüzung, in Wärmenetzen, zur Kälteerzeugung mittels thermischer Kältemaschinen und zur Bereitstellung von Prozesswärme eingesetzt.
Die Anlagentypen unterscheiden sich zum einen in der hydraulischen Verschaltung und in den Bedingungen, unter denen die Solaranlage betrieben wird. Bei Trinkwasseranlagen sind zudem hygienische Vorkehrungen zu treffen, um ein Legionellenwachstum zu vermeiden. Ein bedeutender Unterschied ist außerdem das Temperaturniveau, bei dem die Solaranlagen betrieben werden müssen. Bei allen Anlagentypen sind zum Ausgleich des zeitlichen Versatzes von Solarertrag und Wärmeverbrauch Solarspeicher notwendig. Diese können bei Anlagen zur solaren Raumklimatisierung (Kühlung) kleiner ausfallen, da der größte Leistungsbedarf zeitlich nahezu mit der größten solaren Leistung zusammenfällt.
Die Hochschule Offenburg begleitet in Zusammenarbeit mit dem Fraunhofer ISE in Freiburg die solar unterstützte Klimatisierung der Deutschen Telekom in Rottweil. Die Anlage wurde im Rahmen des Forschungsvorhabens „Solarthermie2000plus“ vom Bundesumweltministerium gefördert. Inzwischen liegen erste Ergebnisse aus einem Langzeitmonitoring vor.

In recent times, the energy consumed by buildings facilities became considerable. Efficient local energy management is vital to deal with building power demand penalties. This operation becomes complex when a hybrid energy system is included in the power system. This study proposes new energy management between photovoltaic (PV) system, Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) and the power network in a building by controlling the PV/BESS inverter. The strategy is based on explicit model predictive control (MPC) to find an optimal power flow in the building for one-day ahead. The control algorithm is based on a simple power flow equation and weather forecast. Then, a cost function is formulated and optimised using genetic algorithms-based solver. The objective is reducing the imported energy from the grid preventing the saturation and emptiness of BESS. Including other targets to the control policy as energy price dynamic and BESS degradation, MPC can optimise dramatically the efficacy of the global building power system. The strategy is implemented and tested successfully using MATLAB/SimPowerSystems software, compared to classical hysteresis management, MPC has given 10% in energy cost economy and 25% improvement in BESS lifetime.
This paper presents the use of model predictive control (MPC) based approach for peak shaving application of a battery in a Photovoltaic (PV) battery system connected to a rural low voltage gird. The goals of the MPC are to shave the peaks in the PV feed-in and the grid power consumption and at the same time maximize the use of the battery. The benefit to the prosumer is from the maximum use of the self-produced electricity. The benefit to the grid is from the reduced peaks in the PV feed-in and the grid power consumption. This would allow an increase in the PV hosting and the load hosting capacity of the grid.
The paper presents the mathematical formulation of the optimal control problem
along with the cost benefit analysis. The MPC implementation scheme in the
laboratory and experiment results have also been presented. The results show
that the MPC is able to track the deviation in the weather forecast and operate
the battery by solving the optimal control problem to handle this deviation.
In rural low voltage grid networks, the use of battery in the households with a grid connected Photovoltaic (PV) system is a popular solution to shave the peak PV feed-in to the grid. For a single electricity price scenario, the existing forecast based control approaches together with a decision based control layer uses weather and load forecast data for the on–off schedule of the battery operation. These approaches do bring cost benefit from the battery usage. In this paper, the focus is to develop a Model Predictive Control (MPC) to maximize the use of the battery and shave the peaks in the PV feed-in and the load demand. The solution of the MPC allows to keep the PV feed-in and the grid consumption profile as low and as smooth as possible. The paper presents the mathematical formulation of the optimal control problem along with the cost benefit analysis . The MPC implementation scheme in the laboratory and experiment results have also been presented. The results show that the MPC is able to track the deviation in the weather forecast and operate the battery by solving the optimal control problem to handle this deviation.
Three real-lab trigeneration microgrids are investigated in non-residential environments (educational, office/administrational, companies/production) with a special focus on domain-specific load characteristics. For accurate load forecasting on such a local level, à priori information on scheduled events have been combined with statistical insight from historical load data (capturing information on not explicitly-known consumer behavior). The load forecasts are then used as data input for (predictive) energy management systems that are implemented in the trigeneration microgrids. In real-world applications, these energy management systems must especially be able to carry out a number of safety and maintenance operations on components such as the battery (e.g. gassing) or CHP unit (e.g. regular test runs). Therefore, energy management systems should combine heuristics with advanced predictive optimization methods. Reducing the effort in IT infrastructure the main and safety relevant management process steps are done on site using a Smart & Local Energy Controller (SLEC) assisted by locally measured signals or operator given information as default and external inputs for any advanced optimization. Heuristic aspects for local fine adjustment of energy flows are presented.
An energy oriented design concept was developed within the research project PHOTOPUR which has the development of a PV powered water cleaning system as main focus. During a wine season Plant Protection Products (PPP) are several times sprayed on plants to protect them of undesired insects and herbs or avoid hazardous fungus
types. A work package of the project partner INES in Offenburg led to a design introducing energy profiling already in the early beginning of a product design. The concept is based on three pillars respecting first the
requirements of the core process making up filtering and cleaning and secondary aspects which run, support, maintain and monitor the system to secure availability and product reliability.
The presented paper shows that the results of the design tools guided the developers to assemble a functional model of the water decontamination unit which was manually tested with its concatenated steps of the water cleaning process.
The PHOTOPUR project aims to develop a photocatalytic process as a type of AOPs (Advanced Oxidation Processes) for the elimination of plant protection products (PPP) of the cleaning water used to wash sprayers. At INES a PV based energy supply for the photocatalytic cleaning system was developed within the framework of two bachelor theses and assembled as a demonstration unit. Then the system was step by step extended with further process automation features and pushed to a remote operating device. The final system is now available as a mobile unit mounted on a lab table. The latest step was the photocatalytic reactor module which completed the first PHOTOPUR prototype. The system is actually undergoing an intensive testing phase with performance checks at the consortium partners. First results give an overview about the successful operation.

Über zwei Jahrzehnte hat sich an der Hochschule Offenburg im Umfeld von Professor Elmar Bollin eine Forschungsgruppe etabliert, die die Bereiche Gebäudeautomation und nachhaltige Energietechnik zusammenführten. Anfänglich ging es darum die Potenziale der internetbasierten Wetterprognostik und modell-basierten Anlagensteuerung für die Verbesserung des Komforts und der Energieeffizienz im Gebäude zu nutzen. Im Rahmen von Forschungs- und Entwicklungsarbeiten mit Einsatz von dynamischen Gebäudesimulationen konnte schließlich ein Algorithmus gefunden werden, der es ermöglichte auf Basis von prognostizierter Außentemperatur und Sonneneinstrahlung den Energiebedarf eines Bürogebäudes für den Folgetag vorherzusagen. In Verbindung mit der Gebäudeautomation entstand so die adaptive und prädiktive TABS-Steuerung AMLR.
