Seminar 55 -- Future Smart Building Operations for Load Flexibility PDF

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

Building consumes a large portion of energy and has significant effect on energy supply and demand system. Grid-interactive efficient buildings (GEB) are essential in the future and provide flexible loads to the smart grid. This seminar provides an overview of the recent GEB research activities that covers: (1) building flexible load through forecasting and optimization, (2)the relationship between energy efficiency and building flexible load, (3) Uncertainty-aware transactive control of multiple buildings with thermal energy storage; and (4) Occupant-centric Buildings-to-grid integration.
