Modern trends in power industry show growth of the diffuse sources within the field of renewable energy sources with the ability to save electrical energy and smart loads. The goal is to redirect the flexibility management from supply-side flexibility, to demand-side flexibility. The goal is to create a future that gives opportunities for private household consumers or producers of energy who can offer utilization of their flexibility.
To get a good value out of the object’s potential flexibility, we need to know the dynamics between consumption and plausible production of energy. In the first part, the model makes calculations of small electric appliances consumption based on the input of the electric parameters. In the second part it calculates the building’s heat losses based on the object’s energetic efficiency which depends on the isolation parameters. The sum of the energy, which the object needs for its optimal operation, represents the energy that is needed for the heat pump and other electrical appliances. In the third part, it calculates the amount of the energy production based on the connection load and the predefined normalized profile of energy production. It calculates the amount of stored energy in a battery with a predefined capacity based on the difference between production and consumption. In the last phase, the model adjusts the consumption due to dual-tariff prices and the prices from the day-ahead market, while the surplus of electric energy is sold on the balancing market. The adjusted energy consumption is then economically evaluated by model based on the dual-tariff consumption prices and the prices from the day-ahead market, while the stored energy is evaluated based on the prices form the balancing market. The estimated flexibility of the object is also economically evaluated based on the prices for tertiary regulation. The model calculates the flexibility and its value from the differences between adjustable and basic consumption. The models end goal functioning is not about the lowering of consumption, but its adaptability towards lower final prices and the maintenance of warmth and energetic comfort.
