Agent based Framework to Simulate Inhabitants' Behaviour in Domestic Settings for Energy Management
نویسندگان
چکیده
Inhabitants' behaviour is a significant factor that influences energy consumption and has been previously incorporated as static activity profiles within simulation for energy control & management. In this paper an agent-based approach to simulate reactive/deliberative group behaviour has been proposed and implemented. It takes into account perceptual, psychological (cognitive), social behavioural elements and domestic context to generate reactive/deliberative behavioural profiles. The Brahms language is used to implement the proposed approach to learn behavioural patterns for energy control and management

An Agent Based Approach to Find High Energy Consuming Activities
Inhabitants’ behaviour in buildings has a strong impact on the energy consumption patterns resulting in energy waste. The existing multi agent and centralized energy management approaches are focused on consumption optimization and load predictions without taking into account the inhabitants’ behaviour. We argue that the consumption optimization without waste reduction is difficult. In this art...
متن کاملOptimization of the PCM-integrated solar domestic hot water system under different thermal stratification conditions
Many researchers have investigated how to increase the overall efficiency of solar-driven thermal systems. Several key parameters, such as collector efficiency and storage tank characteristics, may impose some constraints on the annual solar fraction (ASF) of such systems. In this paper, the behaviour of integrating the phase change material (PCM) in SDHW systems is modelled and optimized n...
