Abstract
Electric energy generation from renewable sources is widely accepted thanks to the cost reduction that enables its transformation in an increasingly optimal way. However, these systems depend on climate variability. Accordingly, they cannot provide fixed generation. In order to improve the reliability of these systems, demand-side management strategies have been developed to optimize the operation of renewable generation systems. This article presents a case study of a medical education building with distributed generation. A dynamic tariff scenario is simulated according to the national demand in order to perform demand-side management with three types of loads: refrigeration, air conditioning, and ventilation. The model is fed with data obtained from the telemetering of the PV system generation and demand of the building. The result shows that about 16.2% of the electrical energy consumed can be saved through the implemented energy management system and complies the operation ranges allowed by the system.
