Home Energy Management System For Coordinated Pv And Hvac Controls Based On Ai Forecasting, Huangjie Gong, Rosemary E. Alden, Dan M. Ionel Jul 2021

Home Energy Management System For Coordinated Pv And Hvac Controls Based On Ai Forecasting, Huangjie Gong, Rosemary E. Alden, Dan M. Ionel

Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky Presentations

Introduction

  • This HEMS serves to transform HVAC system demand into a schedulable load bank or “dispatchable load” through controls based on day ahead forecasts
  • Within this poster, a complete structure from data acquisition to day-ahead load scheduling is proposed
  • For the purpose of study, measured data is used in place of forecasts to showcase best case results.


Artificial Intelligence-Based Short-Term Electric Load Forecasts For Experimental Smart Homes Including Hvac And Pv Components, Rosemary E. Alden, Cristinel Ababei, Dan M. Ionel Jul 2021

Artificial Intelligence-Based Short-Term Electric Load Forecasts For Experimental Smart Homes Including Hvac And Pv Components, Rosemary E. Alden, Cristinel Ababei, Dan M. Ionel

Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky Presentations

Problem Formulation

  • To predict electric load of the total average power as well as individual components for two residencies from experimental data
  • Individual residential forecasting is difficult due to high variability of appliance usage and random human behavior influences
  • Separate the HVAC load from total load as a desired profile using weather relationship and minimum HVAC load at night
  • Data driven approach to reduce the amount of information about the home required


Co-Simulation Of Electric Power Distribution And Buildings With Energyplus And Opendss, Evan S. Jones, Dan M. Ionel Jul 2021

Co-Simulation Of Electric Power Distribution And Buildings With Energyplus And Opendss, Evan S. Jones, Dan M. Ionel

Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky Presentations

Problem Formulation

  • Need for accurate load modeling that incorporates human comfort into community-level demand response (DR) studies
  • Achievable through co-simulation of advanced digital twins for buildings with EnergyPlus and distribution systems with OpenDSS


Large-Scale Solar Pv And Battery Energy Storage Model Study On A Proposed Benchmark Transmission System, Gerald W. Bankes Ii, Oluwaseun M. Akeyo, Dan M. Ionel Jul 2021

Large-Scale Solar Pv And Battery Energy Storage Model Study On A Proposed Benchmark Transmission System, Gerald W. Bankes Ii, Oluwaseun M. Akeyo, Dan M. Ionel

Power and Energy Institute of Kentucky Presentations

Problem Formulation

  • The move toward renewable energy sources has led to an increase in the penetration of inverter-based resources onto the transmission system
  • Most literature discusses two types of models of IBRs, time-average models, which do not capture high-frequency switching effects, and detailed switching models, which are computationally expensive
  • The IEEE 12-Bus test system was modified in PSCADTM/EMTDCTM to include a 100 MW PV facility and 100 MW battery energy storage system (BESS) connected at bus 2
  • The PV facility and BESS are modelled using a proposed dynamic inverter-based resource module
  • A demonstration of the module was performed using two …
