Abstract
Renewable
energy sources are important in the green building for energy saving. The use
of renewable energy sources needs energy management in hbyrid green buildings.
By using an energy management system, the energy costs of hyrid green buildings
can be systematically and regularly controlled. In other words, it provides
each consumer to produce their own energy in their own building, and reduce the
dependence to the central power grid. Besides, the change of electricity
pricing according to hours can be seen as another parameter. The aim of this
study is to develop an energy informatics application for energy management in
green buildings. Resource management scenarious have been created according to
regional atmospherical conditions. These scenarious were monitored via an
energy source management interface. In this study, a software which have a
visual interface was developed. This software conducts an energy management
system for a hybrid green building which has three kinds of energy resource
like utility, solar arrays and energy storage system. This software proposes an resource management
system between these three types of resources.Proposed system depends on some
scenarious which are interchangable according to external parameters such as;
variability of the price of energy received from electric grid, seasonal
factors, fullness level of the batteries were designed. In the scenarios of the
electric loads, making them continuous and as cheap as possible were taken into
consideration. With the developed software, it is aimed to monitor energy
consumption of each scenario. Thus, an arrangement using cheap, continuous and
environmentally friendly resources as possible as will be provided.
