Impact of Weather Forecasts and Green Building on Micro Grid Energy Management System

This study is concerned with the efficient integration of the power management system from a microgrid with the power generation by using renewable resources and green buildings concept. The studies were directed toward the understanding and analyze of the possibility to optimize the energy consumptions such as to get minimal costs in the above mentioned scenarios. The specialized software BIM was employed in order to study the effects of climate and other external factors on energy consumptions and the related costs. Two sites, highly different with respect to climate conditions, were addressed firstly (Bagdad from Iraq and Craiova from Romania) in order to evaluate the volume of CO2 emissions and respectively the effectiveness of power generation by using solar and wind energies. Two identical buildings (used for weather forecast) from the same sites were also studied. Afterward the results of extensive studies over the monthly power consumptions structures (considering 10 components) along one year were presented and discussed. The results of an analysis concerned with the performances (power consumption and costs) for 3 scenarios (with(out) BIM and respectively “high performance”) were presented at the end, emphasizing the advantage of integrating green buildings in a microgrid while using renewable resources.
