COntrol and ManageMent systems using Information and communications Technologies FOR ZERO Energy Buildings.
This project proposes the development of advanced controllers for the three levels listed in the previously that will be validated in a bioclimatic building, the CIESOL building, which is placed at the campus of the University of Almería. This building uses ICT to monitor various physical variables in most of its enclosures, as well as the production and consumption of each of its components. The developed controllers will be validated with real tests, for which it will be necessary:
- To develop a digital twin of the building that allows modelling and predicting the production and consumption of the different systems that make up the building.
- The analysis of thermal and electrical consumptions within the building and the production by the systems based on renewable energies that the building has integrated (flat solar collectors and photovoltaic panels). Specific integration and optimization options that result in a preponderant use of such systems will be evaluated.
- The development of advanced controllers to manage the building energy at various levels in order to overlap the building demand and production curves, maximizing the energy produced by renewable energy sources whereas energy consumption from the electrical grid is minimized.
