A Comparison of Direct and Indirect Flexibilities on the Self-Consumption of an Office Building: The Case of Predis-MHI, a Smart Office Building

The purpose of this paper is to provide a method for assessing the impact direct and indirect flexibilities on self-consumption office buildings. goal assess how both human actors technical interventions can affect or mitigate deviations in level building from its optimal. This considers Predis-MHi platform (a living lab) as representative case study applies Mixed Integer Linear Programming optimization manage (stationary battery charging) (Electric Vehicle charging when users plug unplug their vehicles). Our results indicate that potential building’s improvement using does exist be quantified. However, type flexibility highly dependent which presents high uncertainty difficult account all stages development use. Direct such stationary storage used undesired effects having significant levels tertiary sector energy performance. could potentially modeled into an indicator, would serve influence occupant behavior towards desired
