Abstract
Building energy management (BEM) systems can shift the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) demand of buildings in summer using pre-cooling. The physical and operational constraints of buildings directly impact the operation of low voltage networks (LVNs). There is a gap in the literature on the extent of the electricity consumption and the voltage profiles of LVNs are influenced by different wall constructions of BEM-enabled buildings. In this paper, a joint electrical and thermodynamic model is used to control residential BEMs, taking into account the constraints of the LVN and the buildings. As a case study, the electricity demand of an IEEE LVN with 55 residential buildings ..
