Smart Energy Management tool: Adaptation of SEM algorithms

Our partner IREC has developed a set of Smart Energy Management (SEM) building control algorithms that can increase energy flexibility, reduce costs and transform the way buildings use energy.

SEM is a technology to be included in the control Toolbox of the PLURAL solutions. The algorithms aim to find the optimal strategy in terms of different optimization criteria, from electricity cost savings to reduced CO2 emissions and system performance under market conditions while considering forecast of heating, cooling, electricity demand and renewable (RE) generation.

The developed algorithms contain the simplified models of all the devices included in the facilities: heat pumps, thermal storages, building thermal and electrical consumption, among others.
