Building Reduced Model for MILP Optimization: Application to Demand Response of Residential Buildings

International audienceThis paper addresses the topic of the electrical flexibility on the demand-side, by focusing on the residential buildings. Specifically, it aims to quickly formulate the optimal operation of building heat pumps, according to environmental or grid issues. Indeed the literature shows many examples of quantification of the flexibility impacts, but mostly relying on pre-defined strategies. To go from the evaluation of some strategies to the formulation of the optimal planning , we are introducing a methodology based on the automatic generation of models dedicated to mixed-integer linear programming (MILP) optimization. Finally , the method was applied to a new residential building during a month of winter
