The Use of Demand Modelling for Community Energy Analysis

In this paper the challenges of creating accurate, scalable and usable energy demand models are discussed, in the context of existing simulation and data driven energy demand models. Results from high resolution bottom-up data and simulation-based energy demand analysis from a community energy project are provided. A novel Hidden Markov Modelling and Generalised Pareto (HMM-GP) methodology for simulating synthetic electrical demand profiles is validated for residential buildings at a temporal resolution of five minutes. The corresponding dynamic thermal demands for the various building archetypes within the community are also modelled. This is achieved using automated externally driven IES-VE (building simulation) models for arrays of control profiles, and is also compared against in-situ thermal measurements.
