Energy flexibility slashes energy costs and consumption in multi-energy systems.
The goal of the study was to show how using the flexibility of building energy can help manage different energy sources effectively. The researchers used a model to control energy use in a building with multiple energy sources, including electricity, solar power, and district cooling. By optimizing the energy use, they found significant reductions in electricity consumption, cost, and primary energy use. This approach can improve the energy performance of buildings with multi-energy systems.
