Simultaneity of PV electricity generation and heat pump electricity demand for different control strategies in the PEB use case EXCESS

Comparison of the electricity demand of heat pumps under different control strategies, simulated for the Austrian EXCESS demonstration building, in relation to the available PV generation on the façade for an average winter week in February. The building under investigation represents a use case in the IEA EBC Annex 83 project.

Duration curves of heating power for the coldest week of the year – comparison of standard control vs. MPC

One use case considered in the IEA EBC Annex 83 is a thermally activated building that was designed within the national research project HybridLSC. The thermally activated building mass allows for temporal load shifting by means of model predictive control (MPC) of the building. A comparison of the duration curves of heating power for the coldest week of the year between a standard control strategy and an MPC-based control strategy shows a significant reduction in peak loads, which is achieved without any loss of comfort for the occupants. This is essential for the optimal sizing of heat sources and forms the basis for reducing peak loads in energy networks.

Cross-sectional image of a laser-structured and coated steel surface

The image shows an FIB cross-section of a steel surface that has been structured using laser interference and then coated with a 2D material, in this case MXene as transition metal carbide Ti3C2. The individual MXene flakes deposited in the valleys of the laser structures are clearly recognisable.

Central Characteristics of Energy Communities and Their Interactions

Representation of the central characteristics of energy communities (ECs) and their interrelationships. A strong mutual influence is found between the actors of the EC and the management and decision-making processes, as well as between the actors and value propositions. Influences during the founding process occur between value propositions and founding actors, value propositions and the initiation mode, and founding actors on the initiation mode, funding options, and management and decision-making. Operational influences include the impact of value propositions on the management of energy resources and general management and decision-making, as well as the influence of the initiation mode on management and decision-making, and of funding options on the management of energy resources.
