Resumo:
The present dissertation proposes the optimal management of the refrigeration demand of a university distribution network to promote greater economy and energy efficiency using the thermal inertia of air-conditioned classrooms as storage element of thermal energy and photovoltaic generation. The proposed method considers the hourly variation of the ambient temperature influencing the variation of the internal temperature of the classrooms and the consumption of energy throughout the day, knowing that the consumer unit is charged in the green model. The analysis of the loads of the consumer unit leads to the conclusion that most of the energy consumed is destined to some kind of refrigeration load, especially to ambient air conditioners, thus, to consider the management of this type of loads in the context of intelligent networks is a coherent way of positively impacting on increasing energy efficiency. Demand side management is based on Genetic Algorithm and the results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method in balancing the energy management and promoting a considerable increase in the economy with the energy expenses.
