Abstract

This paper presents optimal dispatch strategy of cogeneration with thermal energy storage (TES) for building energy management system (BEMS). In previous research related to cogeneration as a supply system, it is observed that there is some excessive heat from cogeneration operation released to the atmosphere. In order to improve energy efficiency, we therefore incorporate TES to utilize the excessive heat from cogeneration into two objective functions, i.e., total operating cost (TOC) and total carbon dioxide emission (TCOE). In particular, we aim to minimize TOC which is referred to economic optimal operation and to minimize TCOE which is referred to environmental optimal operation. Both optimal operations are subjected to energy dispatch strategy which TES constraint is taken into account. We demonstrate the dispatch strategy with a load profile of a large shopping mall as a test system and compare the results to that of previous dispatch of cogeneration without TES. The proposed strategy of cogeneration with TES can reduce TOC of the test system up to 4.15% and 1.85% for economic and environmental optimal operations, respectively. Furthermore, TCOE can be reduced up to 5.25% and 6.25% for economic and environmental optimal operations, respectively.
