Energy management system for intelligent buildings or households
The Building Energy Management System (BEMS) is a control and monitoring system for optimally operating flexible devices. The same concept can be used to manage not just one building but a group of buildings within the same local energy community with self-consumption and collective storage. The BEMS allows controlling electrical assets at the household level (e.g., HVAC, water heater, battery storage, PV generation, heat pump, EV) and also on the community level (e.g., battery storage, PV plants, EV stations) in order to best utilize own optimization criteria and/or provide a flexibility service to third parties through incentive-based programs.
Advantages: Can control many different devices (electric water heaters, HVAC, electric vehicles, batteries, solar panels) Can optimize considering emitted greenhouse gas emissions Applications: Electricity bill minimization Self-consumption maximization Efficiency increase
