Unified generating and storing capacity reliability evaluation in nearly-Zero Energy Buildings

This paper presents a methodology for developing an adequacy assessment of the generating and storing mix capacity in nearly-Zero Energy Residential Buildings (nZEB). The adequacy of a given generating and storing mix will be quantified by means of a set of reliability indices obtained by adapting the traditional reliability techniques employed in power systems. The analysis will use a Montecarlo based sampling, to obtain the hourly load and generation profiles of the buildings. Then, the obtained profiles will be used together with the building management system (BMS) model and the energy storage system (ESS) model for obtaining the desired reliability indices.
