Abstract
This paper presents an innovative control scheme
for the management of energy consumption in commercial build-
ings with local energy production, such as photovoltaic panels or
wind turbine and an energy storage unit. The presented scheme is
based on distributed model predictive controllers, which manage
the storage system and the building space heating and cooling. The
proposed approach is implemented and tested in SYSLAB, the
experimental facility for distributed energy systems at the Techni-
cal University of Denmark, Risø Campus. The experimental setup
consists of wind and solar renewable sources, a vanadium redox
battery system, resistive load, and a point of common coupling to
the national grid. Several experiments are carried to assess the
performance of the control scheme in managing local energy pro-
duction and consumption.
