Energy flexible buildings Sample Clauses

Energy flexible buildings. The second asset to be used to implement DSM schemes is represented by the flexibility provided by buildings through their inherent thermal energy storage in the building envelope and through the use of flexible electric heating systems installed in Astea’s office buildings. With more detail the Astea’s headquarter in Osimo and the office in the CHP plant are considered as representative examples of commercial/tertiary buildings. Even in this case there are interactions both with the electricity grid and with the natural gas grid. Technical specifications In the headquarter in Osimo the following technologies are present:  4 electric boilers for DHW (about 1500 W)  2 gas boilers for space heating, only one works, the other one is a back-up. The thermal power is 580 kWth and 600 kWth respectively.  1 air handling unit for space heating and cooling.  1 refrigeration unit with R22, 103 kW of nominal electric power input  1 central control system for the indoor thermal comfort  1 heat pump (Panasonic Multitype air conditioner with R410A) used for space heating and cooling only of a new part of the building. Heating thermal capacity 25 kW and electric power 6.22 kW; cooling thermal capacity 22.4 kW and electric power 5.89 kW.  1 EVs charging station (3kW electric power) and two electric vehicles with an energy storage capacity of 22 kWh each (charging time 6-9 hours).  PV panels with a nominal electric power of 31.39 kW. At present in the office located in the CHP plant there are the following devices to provide space heating and cooling and DHW:  1 electric boiler to produce DHW  1 reversible air-to-water heat pump for space heating and cooling with 2 split systems  Manual control system to adjust indoor temperature set-points Control strategies 35,000 30,000 25,000 20,000 15,000 10,000 5,000 0 GEN FEB MAR APR MAY JUNE JULY AGO SEPT OCT NOV DEC PRODUCED INJECTED INTO THE GRID TAKEN FROM THE GRID SELF-CONSUMPTION Energy (kWh) In Figure 8 it is possible to see the PV electricity production in 2018 for the plant in the headquarter building: the plant is new and the production starts only in August. In this case all the electricity produced is used to cover the building demand and the injection into the grid is very low (always lower than 4% of the electricity produced). Figure 8.

Energy flexible buildings. The considered buildings provide flexibility by means of the thermal storage of building envelope and by the storage capacity of the innovative GDHVI electric heaters. Moreover, the EVs can be used to store or provide electric energy through the DUFERCO charging station when necessary. Figure 29 represents a schematic with the DSM devices included in Astea’s headquarters. In Table 5 the specifications of the new devices installed is reported. Figure 29. Astea’s headquarters DSM technologies. Table 5. New DSM devices to be installed in Osimo demo.

The optimal management of the above mentioned flexible devices will be implemented in order to demonstrate the load shifting and peak shaving potential of tertiary buildings. Results can be scaled up at city level in order to quantify their impact on the overall microgrid performance. For example, the SETS space heater installed in Astea’s headquarters with an electric power of about 2 kW could provide a reserve power of 2 MW if installed in 1000 different buildings in Osimo and, given its storage capacity, it allows several hours of load shifting.
