Models of DER devices – what is the base of this approach?
Enhanced District Heating and DER system models are necessary to produce building and district level predictions (Thermal/electric demand, fuel consumption, equipment response), and enable the implementation of energy efficiency-driven or demand response-driven operational strategies. For this purpose, and to be run by MOEEBIUS components (Building Energy Performance Simulation tool, District Dynamic Assessment Engine), several DER models have been developed, which can be divided in load, generation, storage and district heating models.
