Control Strategies for a Residential Property with Solar Building, Thermal and Electricity Storages
Abstract
We study the control of an advanced energy system for a residential building. The system includes solar thermal and PV/T collectors, heat storages, a shallow geothermal system with a heat pump and a battery. Two control strategies are evaluated with simulation experiments: a rule-based one and model-predictive control. The rulebased strategy performs quite well in warmer seasons whereas MPC outperforms it in wintertime.
