Systematic optimization of combined heating and cooling - case study at the University of Bayreuth

摘要

For the renewed heating and cooling system of the University of Bayreuth, the potential savings using an energy management system are identified and the profitability of an optimization is evaluated. The utilization of the energy storage enables an increased cooling generation in the low tariff time as well as a load control to reduce demand charge. For optimizing operations, a load forecast is necessary, by which typical control strategies are selected.
