This book provides a comprehensive study on state of the art developments in the control, operation, and market participation of active buildings (ABs). Active Buildings are able to support the broader energy system by intelligent integration of renewable-based energy technologies for heating, cooling, electricity and transport. This important reference analyzes the key features of modern control and operation techniques applied to these systems. Contributions from an international team of experts present practical methods with evidence and case studies from applications to real-world or simulated active buildings. Sample computer codes and analytical examples aid in the understanding of the presented methods. The book will support researchers  working on control and operation of buildings as an energy system, smart cities and smart grids, and microgrids, as well as researchers and developers from the building and energy engineering, economic, and operation research fields. weiterlesen
