Abstract

In this paper, the placement of Custom Power Devices (CPDs) to improve the power quality of a distributed generation (DG) integrated building energy system (BES) has been analyzed. A typical residential building energy has been modeled in a Virtual Environment (VE) simulator. The extracted energy demand is generated by input load demand and hourly operating information. Based on the electrical energy demand for a typical day, a DG integrated BES (DG-BES) is then simulated in MATLAB to extract the current/voltage disturbance information into the network. Outcome of this simulation shows the voltage/current waveform along with the disturbances at different locations in the building. Finally a CPD is placed into the network and simulation in MATLAB shows the performance of the device by improving the power quality of the DG-BES. The city of Dublin, Ireland has been chosen as a geographical location and VE-Pro software has been used to develop the virtual environment simulation for the building energy system.
