Special Session 11
Operational and Market Strategies for Large-Scale Buildings-to-Grid in Support of the New Power Systems
The rapid development of renewable energy worldwide has significantly optimized the energy structure and accelerated the transition to cleaner energy consumption. However, the intermittent, uncertain, and low-inertia characteristics of renewable energy pose new challenges to the stability and control of power systems. Public buildings, as critical elements in the Buildings-to-Grid (B2G) framework, have significant potential to enhance grid flexibility and support the optimal operation of power systems. Therefore, it is essential to investigate how public buildings can effectively participate in the coordinated operation and control of the grid while achieving economic efficiency and maintaining system stability. This session will focus on the latest advancements in Buildings-to-Grid integration and market mechanisms to promote their role in supporting new power systems. It will emphasize the role of public buildings, industrial loads, and electric vehicles in advancing grid interaction. Suggested topics include, but are not limited to:1. Modelling and energy management strategies for public buildings;
2. Multi-timescale interaction technologies for public buildings participating in grid operations;
3. Market trading decision-making strategies for Buildings-to-Grid systems;
4. Incentive mechanisms for public buildings to engage in grid interactions.
