AMBASSADOR

Autonomous Management System Developed for Building and District Levels

Energy management system for a district, research project and IPMVP application at demonstration sites. https://ambassador-fp7.eu/


Objective:

Develop an energy management system for buildings at district level.

Strengths of Ambassador DEMIS (district energy management and information system):

  • Interconnection of buildings, limiting the interaction with the grid;
  • Economic actors at the district level, optimisation of use/generation/storage, penalisation of non-renewable energy, promotion of savings;
  • Combination of RE generation (wind, solar) with different storage technologies (battery, H2 production, thermal) and flexible consumers (E-Mobility, Air-con, heating);
  • Real-time adaptation;
  • Use of predictive methods;
  • Thermal/electrical storage;
  • Duplicable.
