Abstract

Buildings acting as flexible loads have been often proposed to mitigate the volatility of renewable energy sources. Thereby, an accurate short-term demand forecast is indispensable for effective demand side management. At the same time, standardized load profiles, commonly used in the distribution grid, are inadequate for load forecasting within building domain. For this PhD, project a novel short-term forecasting model is proposed for that domain. It considers not only residual load, but also scheduled demand response as well as the PV-generation of the building. Moreover, it is not building specific and is, therefore, suitable for area-wide application within building domain.
