Study of an nZEB Office Building with Storage in Electric Vehicle Batteries and Dispatch of a Natural Gas-Fuelled Generator

The rapid electrification of vehicles has led to a great increase in numbers charging stations and growing appetite for power, with stochastic behaviours heavily loading the electricity grid. upcoming difficulties increasing costs associated production will require development smart grids city networks. Smart micro-grids established nearly zero-energy buildings (nZEB) are promising strategy support grid stability resilience at reduced cost. A significant amount storage capacity is necessary optimal dispatch self-produced photovoltaic electricity. For office buildings, this can be provided by aggregate battery employees’ electric vehicles, which connect during working hours and, if allowed, discharging. An additional, fully controllable source that an micro-grid internal combustion engine-powered generator present every commercial building as emergency power supply. In current study, preliminary investigation near 218 kWp rooftop installation carried out. required supplied stay connected building’s in-house chargers hours. rating natural gas-fuelled GenSet determined based on system’s operation control study.
