Impacts of Collective Communication on the Energy Flexibility and Climate Resilience of Buildings in Urban Areas

Abstract

A novel approach for demand side management (DSM) in urban areas was introduced previously based on collective intelligence (CI), called CI-DSM. It was shown that CI-DSM can enhance energy flexibility and climate resilience in urban areas while having a simple communication logic and light computation. The communication signal (0 or 1) is (gradually) distributed among the agents in the energy system, including buildings. Therefore, the communication logic can affect the performance of the whole system, especially during extreme weather events. This work investigates the impact of two communication logics on the energy performance of buildings during an extreme cold January in a hypothetical neighborhood in Stockholm. According to the...

A novel approach for demand side management (DSM) in urban areas was introduced previously based on collective intelligence (CI), called CI-DSM. It was shown that CI-DSM can enhance energy flexibility and climate resilience in urban areas while having a simple communication logic and light computation. The communication signal (0 or 1) is (gradually) distributed among the agents in the energy system, including buildings. Therefore, the communication logic can affect the performance of the whole system, especially during extreme weather events. This work investigates the impact of two communication logics on the energy performance of buildings during an extreme cold January in a hypothetical neighborhood in Stockholm. According to the results, the selected communication logic does not affect total energy demand considerably, however the impacts are visible on the indoor thermal comfort, especially during very cold hours.
