Energy management strategy for commercial buildings integrating PV and storage systems

Abstract

This paper presents an energy management strategy for a commercial building in supermarket application. Some objectives are established as load shedding, to reduce the electricity bill and the C0 2 emissions of commercial building, such as supermarkets, in using PV and storage systems. An energy management supervision strategy based on the rules of the electricity bill will be presented. This paper focuses on the supervision strategy with the help of fuzzy logic. It is shown, with the help of simulations and comparisons, that the energy bill cost and the C0 2 emissions can be reduced by using the solution proposed. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2012.
