Potential for exploiting the synergies between buildings through DSM approaches. Case study: La Graciosa Island

Heuristic battery-protective strategy for energy management of an interactive renewables–buildings–vehicles energy sharing network with high energy flexibility

“…Solutions for the energy flexibility enhancement include the Predictive rule-based control [10], controlled loads through multi-agent reinforcement learning [11] and model predictive control [12], thermal mass storage [13], and so on. Energy sharing between multi-energy systems is an effective solution to improve aggregated energy flexibility [14][15][16] provided by buildings to the utility grid. Synergy between buildings can improve the self-consumption and self-sufficiency ratios to 42% and 64%, respectively [15].…”

Optimal probabilistic scenario‐based operation and scheduling of prosumer microgrids considering uncertainties of renewable energy sources

“…70 The 24-dimensional parameter vectors are initialized randomly, which are uniformly distributed. Afterward, an offspring x ′ j (t) should be adopted using three random individuals, as (17).…”

“…Prosumer microgrids (PMGs) as the users of RESs and ESSs are playing an essential role in today's energy systems 16 . Unlike conventional consumers, PMGs can produce and sell electricity 17,18 . Moreover, from the perspective of distribution network operators (DNOs), PMGs are active energy units, which are able to participate in daily electricity markets 19,20 .…”

“…16 Unlike conventional consumers, PMGs can produce and sell electricity. 17,18 Moreover, from the perspective of distribution network operators (DNOs), PMGs are active energy units, which are able to participate in daily electricity markets. 19,20 Several merits are also attributed to PMGs, such as energy market reforms and regulatory supports.…”

Advances Toward a Net-Zero Global Building Sector

“…In addition, many consumers have been opting to produce their own power for supply security and independence reasons. There has been a rise in prosumers, and they require a new utility model (153,154). In summary, it is likely that building-integrated PV production is going to increase substantially, allowing for increased shares of net-zero energy buildings/neighborhoods (155)(156)(157).…”
