Grid-Friendly Smart Sustainable Buildings: Flexibility-to-Cost Mapping
Iason-Iraklis Avramidis, Florin Capitanescu, Geert Deconinck
Abstract
Despite the ample research on computing power grid flexibility envelopes, how to analytically monetize their points on a one-to-one (1-1) basis remains elusive, due to nonlinear grid constraints. Our methodology renders the 1-1 flexibility-to-cost mapping reachable, but in the context of grid-friendly smart sustainable buildings (GF-SSBs). We explore how different types of device power factor (pf) affect the pricing and envelope reporting. A generic case study validates the methodology.
