We introduce the Python-based open-source library Energym, a building model library to test and benchmark building controllers. The incorporated building models are presented with a brief explanation of their function, location and technical equipment. Furthermore, the library structure is described, highlighting the necessary features to provide the benchmarking and control capabilities, i.e., standardized evaluation scenarios, key performance indicators (KPIs) and forecasts of uncertain variables. We go on to characterize the evaluation scenarios for each of the models and give formal definitions of the KPIs. We describe the calibration methodologies used for constructing the models and illustrate their usage through examples.

The electricity sector foresees a significant change in the way energy is generated and distributed in the coming years. With the increasing penetration of renewable energy sources, smart algorithms can determine the difference about how and when energy is produced or consumed by residential districts. However, managing and implementing energy demand response, in particular energy flexibility activations, in real case studies still presents issues to be solved. This study, within the framework of the European project “SABINA H2020”, addresses the development of a multi-level optimization algorithm that has been tested in a semi-virtual real-time configuration. Results from a two-day test show the potential of building’s flexibility and highlight its complexity. Results show how the first level algorithm goal to reduce the energy injected to the grid is accomplished as well as the energy consumption shift from nighttime to daytime hours. As conclusion, the study demonstrates the feasibility of such kind of configurations and puts the basis for real test site implementation.

The heating and cooling sector in Europe aims to increase the share of thermal energy provided by district heating (DH) and cooling networks, from the current 13% to 50% by 2050. To reach this ambitious goal, it is needed to create the scientific evidence required to support the decarbonisation of the sector in Europe by combining energy efficiency and local waste heat. A vast amount of waste heat is produced in urban areas from a range of local sources such as data centres. These unique infrastructures are a rapidly growing industry generating heat that could potentially be recovered for heating applications, and in particular for DH networks. This manuscript evaluates numerically the energy and economic feasibility of the implementation of heat reuse solutions in air-cooled data centres to increase the energy efficiency of DH networks. Even though the primary energy reused in such installations can be above 50%, the economic analysis performed for a specific 1000 kW data centre located in Barcelona (Spain) demonstrates the non-viability of heat recovery integration in most of the conventional air-cooled data centres. However, for some cooling configurations, in particular in rear door cooling technology, the results prove the economic viability of heat reuse options.
