Xxxx Dimplex devices DSM operation. The Xxxx Dimplex devices will be integrated in the Osimo demo as a virtual network for simulation purpose. The Smart Controller will take the role of an aggregator with the responsibility of provide the required thermal energy to the users and the capacity of shifting the electrical demand for the charging of the devices. The algorithm used for the DSM strategy will be the same that was described in section 3.4 and that have been validated in La Plana. At the same time the real operation of the SETS will be validated in ASTEA building as part of the Energy Management System.
Xxxx Dimplex devices DSM operation. The low-level control of the Xxxx Dimplex and the available control modes for DSM operation are detailed in D5.2. As explained in previous sections telemetry of the devices is available through Azure’s Event Hubs, while the Xxxx Dimplex API allows to control charging profiles of cylinders and heaters. In Oud-Heverlee the first approach for the control of the Xxxx Dimplex heating devices is straightforward. As it is a controllable load, the controller will activate this load when the community power is minimum. The Xxxxx Xxxxxxx device gives to information related to the device consumption CRT and DRT: • DRT (Daily Runtime) –Runtime required for the next 24hours • CRT (Critical Runtime) –Runtime required for the morning 12hours Each day at 00.00 the controller sets the charging time windows in function of DRT, CRT and the load forecast. The charge of GD devices is planned when the load is minimum. The forecast is then updated taking in account the Xxxxx Xxxxxxx load (cf. Figure 55). In a second stage, the complementary optimization problem detailed in section 5.1 will include the SETS as controllable loads and will calculate the optimal charging profiles taking into account economic objectives too.
