Seminar 21 -- Control for Grid Interactive Buildings: Impacts on Building Efficiency

This product is a zip file that contains files that consist of PowerPoint slides synchronized with the audio-recording of the speaker, PDF files of the slides, and audio only (mp3 format) as noted.

As more variable renewable wind and solar photovoltaic power have been and will likely continue to be added to the electric grid, management of building power demand will be increasingly looked upon as one of the ways to compensate for both diurnal variability of solar power and difficulty to predict stochastic variability of wind power. This seminar explores approaches being used currently and under development for future use to control building demand for this purpose with a special focus on how participation impacts the energy consumption and efficiency of buildings.
