IDEA participates in a project for the smart transition of building blocks to nZEB (near Zero Energy Buildings).<\/h2><\/div><\/div>[vc_column_text css=””]IDEA is part of the international consortium that will develop an interesting and ambitious project, COENERBUILD<\/strong>, which aims to develop models and software to integrate buildings as virtual power plants (BVPP) in the grid<\/strong>. This will not only provide flexibility but also enable the estimation of the technological performance needed from the equipment to transform these buildings into nearly Zero Energy Buildings (nZEB).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”The project” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23f6303e” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=””][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” border_width=”2″ accent_color=”#cccccc”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]COENERBUILD focuses on the development of advanced mathematical models, control algorithms, and innovative methodologies for energy optimization in buildings. The project will last for 36 months and will include the implementation of a Digital Twin to simulate and improve the energy efficiency of the involved systems.<\/strong>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Objective” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23f6303e” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=””][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” border_width=”2″ accent_color=”#cccccc”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text css=””]The project seeks to address the need for a holistic approach to geographically distributed buildings as both energy consumers and producers within the energy system.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The first objective is to develop the theoretical foundation<\/strong>, mathematical model, and corresponding control algorithms and software for a BVPP (building virtual power plant), which monitors the operation of the HEMS (Home Energy Management System) of each building to regulate the operation of programmable and controllable loads, the energy flow within the BVPP, energy transactions with the main grid, and the relationships with the utility company.<\/p>\n

The second objective is the development of a new methodology to determine the correct sizing<\/strong> of the equipment components of the BVPP.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_single_image image=”73107″ img_size=”full” style=”vc_box_shadow_3d” css=””][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_custom_heading text=”Who participated in the project?” font_container=”tag:h2|font_size:25|text_align:left|color:%23f6303e” google_fonts=”font_family:Montserrat%3Aregular%2C700|font_style:700%20bold%20regular%3A700%3Anormal” css=””][vc_separator color=”custom” style=”dotted” border_width=”2″ accent_color=”#cccccc”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text css=””]The COENERBUILD consortium is made up of five partners from five countries<\/strong>, including universities, private companies, and local governments, each covering the required expertise in various fields and with clearly defined roles.
\nIDEA, with its experience in Industry 5.0 and Digital Twins<\/strong>, leads the development of the simulation and optimization model for energy management in buildings.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
