Energy Sustainability of a Cluster of Buildings with the Application of Smart Grids and the Decentralization of Renewable Energy Sources
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (a)
- Reduction of CO2 greenhouse gases by 40%; following the ER summit in December 2020, EU-27 leaders agreed to an (increased) 55% CO2 [3] reduction target by 2030.
- (b)
- Reduction of energy consumption by 27% (Directive 2012/27/EU on energy performance also contains amendments to Directives 2009/125/EC and 2010/30/EU and repeals Directives 2004/8/EC and 2006/32/E) [4].
- (c)
- The share of renewable energy sources should increase by 27% [4].
- A principle of cost optimization (current simulation of complex “energy performance of buildings” (EPB)) in order to shift the national minimum energy performance requirements towards achieving economically feasible NZEB targets.
- The smart city/smart building concept based on the acceptance of a sustainable cluster energy system through decentralization of renewable energy sources (RES) and Smart Grids.
- The basic architecture of a Smart Grid through a block diagram in the BEM structure and subsequent designing of Smart Grid optimization in the NZEB system.
- Internal building intelligence (application of automated building management systems (ABMS); energy savings, reduction of CO2 emissions, comfort).
- External building intelligence (application of ABMS; RES, local distribution network, Smart Grids, energy storage, IoT, backup sources, electromobility, technical equipment and sources of heat, electricity, water, etc.).
- Building architecture, smart building design, and materials.
- 1st area:
- The EPB rating is based on defined energy consumption for heating, space cooling, water heating, ventilation, built-in lighting and other technical building systems. EPB is expressed using a numerical indicator of primary energy consumption in kWh/(m2 and year) and the heat transfer coefficient of individual building structures in [W/(m2.K)]. The EPB rating is based on defined energy consumption for heating, space cooling, water heating, ventilation, built-in lighting and other technical building systems. EPB is expressed using a numerical indicator of primary energy consumption in kWh/(m2 and year) and the heat transfer coefficient of individual building structures in [W/(m2.K)].
- 2nd area:
- 3rd area:
- Design of RES microgrid. A microgrid is a small network of electricity users with a local energy source, which is usually connected to the national central network, but is able to operate independently. RES simulation is applied using the HOMER software (Hybrid Optimization of Multiple Energy Resources).
- 4th area:
- Design of a photovoltaic power plant (PV) using the PV*SOL simulation program. It involves the design of PV panels in a given area, the design of inverters, the determination of the annual electricity consumption distribution of the given buildings and an assessment of the need to install battery storage in the given locality.
- 5th area:
- Monte Carlo simulation. This is a stochastic heuristic class of algorithms for simulating systems using pseudo-random numbers. The simulation results were produced using the Palisade @Risk 7.6 simulation program, which is a Microsoft Excel add-in application. Results such as arithmetic mean, minimums, maximums and percentage quantiles are presented.
- 6th area:
- Within our BEM, we build the infrastructure for electromobility (charging stations in a defined area), install automation and monitoring elements of the distribution network and effectively connect it to the network with local production of electricity from RES.
- 7th area:
- Conclusion and evaluation of the research and experiment.
- The first factor, which we consider to be original, is the building of the system structure (system solution) of the BEM (Figure 2); its process was built based on an analysis and synthesis of simulation models.Figure 1 and Table 1 and Table 2 show the methodological procedure of the current (existing) EPB solution in the context of NZEB buildings. The basic structure of Figure 1 is a flowchart that represents a workflow, process, system or computer algorithm. It displays the individual process steps in sequential order.
- 2.
- The second factor is the Smart Grid application within the BEM structure. The motivation is the fulfilment of the energy sustainability platform. This makes the BEM application more original, as it strongly supports the goal of reducing energy consumption and thus CO2 production.

2.2. Smart Grid and Building Energy Model (BEM) Structure
- The first step is to provide control and management of local inverters or photovoltaic grid inverters (on grid) so as to make them suitable for electricity storage, and to monitoring and control applications. This is done through the distributed management system (DMS) of these so-called generators.
- The second step is to provide voltage control.
- Electric Smart Grids—independent control of the electricity supply depending on a reduction or increase in consumption;
- Smart meters installation—transmission of consumption information;
- Smart interface—timely combination of the use of electrical appliances and distribution of electricity according to need, which significantly reduces energy costs.

Question | Six Sigma Phase | Description |
---|---|---|
What is this about? | Defining e.g., CO2 reduction | Define the strategic issue to be addressed. e.g., Develop NZEB project documentation |
Where is the process now? | Measurement e.g., Preparation of the Energy Performance of Buildings Certificate (EPBC) | Measure the current performance of the process to be improved. e.g., An EPBC will be prepared. |
What are the causes? | Analysing e.g., Analysing software tools for RES application. The electricity consumption of buildings, transport, and parking is affected. Impact on CO2. It is also necessary to address the issue of energy consumption within the EV charging process. | Analyse the process in order to identify the root causes of poor performance. e.g., The RES will be designed, as set out in Decree No. 78/2013 Sb., i.e., it is a RES design without further context and links to the actual design system with the objective for the year 2030. The most appropriate method for optimization and design of the charging system is the MONTE CARLO method. |
What can be done for this? | Improving Design of a new energy model of a building on the NZEB platform in the context of sustainable energy within the Smart City concept. | Improve the process by exploring and studying possible solutions to achieve a robust improved process. The entire NZEB design and engineering process can be improved by exploring and studying possible solutions to achieve a robust improved process. Design a new methodology for designing EPB in the sustainable energy process within the Smart City (area) concept. This is to meet the key objective for 2030; see the description under the “Analysing” section. |
How to maintain the achieved condition? | Managing Application of control systems for building automation. Energy savings in the range of 11 to 31%. | Standardize the improved process so that it can be managed and continuously improved to maintain its performance. This process is about standardising an improved EPB process so that it can be managed and continuously improved to maintain its performance in terms of sustainable energy. Building automation systems must be used to ensure this. |
