Data Centers and Servers
Data centers are one of the most energy-intensive building types, consuming 10 to 50 times the energy per floor space of a typical commercial office building.
View DetailsEnergy storage is an essential technology for managing building energy flexibility . In, energy flexibility in buildings is defined as the ability to manage energy demand and generation according to local weather conditions, user needs, and grid requirements.
To enable large-scale renewable capacity installation and utilization, the development of building energy storage systems is essential . Another benefit of building energy storage is its ability to support load shifting and peak shaving for building energy demand .
In a parallel line of inquiry, energy storage systems require a certain amount of space to be accommodated. According to British Standards, batteries should be accommodated in a protected space, such as in individual rooms in buildings or cupboards and enclosed spaces in the interior or exterior of a building.
Similarly, Kallio et al. improved the thermal reliability from 0.48 to 0.67 and the electrical reliability from 0.02 to 0.7 by applying thermal energy storage (TES), battery energy storage (BES), and an electric boiler while optimizing system operation. Energy storage is an essential technology for managing building energy flexibility .
Building energy storage systems can store excess power generated by PV systems and mitigate excessive fluctuations in electricity supply, thereby maintaining a stable, reliable, cost-effective, and energy-efficient energy supply system .
Consequently, the optimal energy storage configuration is obtained by minimizing the net present cost (NPC), which includes initial investment (IC), operation cost (OPC) and replacement costs (RC), as calculated by Eq. (24). Due to the relatively small impact of system maintenance costs, they are neglected in this study.
