Support modeling of GEB (Grid interactive efficient buildings) #6944

Open hongtz68 opened 6 years ago

hongtz68 commented 6 years ago

Issue overview

BTO has a new initiative GEB which will improve interactions between buildings and their serving electric grid, considering the dynamics and flexibility of energy supply, demand as well as storage. Sensing and controls are critical to enable GEB at the individual and group of buildings. This new feature request will enable EnergyPlus to support the modeling of GEB related technologies and strategies.

One important reporting capability will be load shifting from both the building's perspective and the utility's perspective. Currently, EnergyPlus reports the building's time of peak (from Output:Meter and Energy Meters report) but does not report the utility's time of peak (Tariff Report), which can be and often is different.
