Special Issue Information

Dear Colleagues,

In developed countries, buildings account for about 40% of energy consumption. Accordingly, building energy management has played an essential role in energy efficiency. However, from the perspective of building occupants, energy cost reduction can be the primary goal.

The introduction of renewable energy, such as solar power and geothermal, can reduce the amount of energy purchased. On the other hand, demand response reduces or shifts the peak load during high-price periods and is also useful. Still, there has been a limit that brings inconvenience to residents. The integration of energy storage systems (ESS) with renewable energy can increase operation flexibility, leading to the anticipation of higher profits without inconveniencing residents. In addition to conventional energy management, resources can be used for new services, such as ancillary, to increase the opportunities.

This Special Issue covers planning- and operation-related topics for ESS-integrated renewable energy in buildings, including:

- Optimal ESS and renewable energy planning for buildings;

- Optimal ESS operation scheduling for buildings with renewable energy;

- ESS operation-related infrastructure, including metering (AMI);

- Performance analysis of RE-ESS in buildings;

- Technoeconomic analysis of RE-ESS in buildings;

- Business models and economic analysis;

- Power systems related to RE-ESS in buildings;

- Innovative pricing or tariffs to support RE-ESS-integrated buildings;

- Mobile ESS services including EVs; and

- Fair RE and ESS sharing among building tenants.

Digital technologies, especially information and communication technologies, paved the way for social welfare by providing efficient and effective means for services. In the energy sector, advanced metering infrastructures (AMIs) are essential for providing various services through information measurement. In this article, we focus on the deployment of an AMI in multi-dwelling units where automated meter reading (AMR) infrastructures are installed. In particular, we explore whether the AMR should substitute the AMI with few alterations, while ensuring desirable accuracy. To determine the adequacy of technology, information measurement performance, service performance, and implementation cost are used as the indicators. Through a case study using real data recorded in Korea, we quantitatively estimate that AMR-based information measurement can exhibit adequate performance and performance degradation of less than 1% in a service environment utilizing AMI with a low-cost investment. We also discuss several technologies and implementation issues in the upcycling of AMR for more reliable service. This study provides a guide for when configuring an information measurement system for a new energy service. Full article

This paper presents an improved voltage flux-weakening strategy of a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) in a high-speed operation. The speed control performance using voltage flux-weakening control is not affected by the motor parameters, so it is used in various motors for high-speed operations. In general, the voltage flux-weakening control uses voltage references to generate a flux axis current reference. However, there may be errors between the voltage reference and the actual voltage flowing into the motor. This causes an error in the current reference generation and reduces the efficiency of the inverter and motor due to the use of more current. In this paper, the problems that can occur due to voltage errors were analyzed through theoretical approaches and simulations, and improved voltage flux-weakening control to resolve these problems was presented. This method’s advantage is that the error between the voltage reference and the voltage applied to the motor can be minimized, and the target speed can be reached with minimum current. As a result, it was possible to increase the energy efficiency by reducing the amount of current flowing through the motor. The effect of the improved voltage-based flux-weakening control method was verified through simulations and experiments. As a result, the voltage errors were reduced by approximately 2.16% compared to the general method. Moreover, the current used in the field-weakening control region was reduced by up to 27.17% under the same torque condition. Full article
