Active Participation of Buildings in the Energy Networks: Dynamic/Operational Models and Control Challenges

New advances in small-scale generation and consumption technologies have shifted conventional buildings’ functionality towards energy-efficient active buildings (ABs). Such developments drew the attention of researchers all around world, resulting a variety publications, including several review papers. This study conducts systematic literature so as to analyse concepts/factors enabling participation energy networks. To do so, relatively large number publications devoted subject are identified, introducing taxonomy control optimisation methods for ABs. Then, selection methodology is proposed nominate potential that has investigated role ABs The modelling approaches flexible while challenges been highlighted. Furthermore, citation network included papers illustrated by Gephi software analysed using “ForceAtlas2” “Yifan Hu Proportional” algorithms insights possibilities future developments. survey results provide clear answer research question flexibility can be offered grids, highlights possible prospective plans, serving guide industry.
