Incorporating distributed renewable energy sources into heating, power, and cooling systems is facilitating the drive toward intelligent building energy solutions. However, the inherent uncertainties associated with controllable renewable resources pose challenges for the thermo-economic scheduling of smart buildings. Nonetheless, the flexibility inherent in smart buildings can be leveraged through various market mechanisms. Hence, this research introduces a sustainable energy-building system driven by an autonomous solar/dish Stirling engine (SDSE) and wind turbine combined with a sophisticated control strategy and battery storage, which is designed to provide heat and power requirements. The proposed control strategy is also devised to optimize energy generation, ensuring prudent conservation and minimal waste, thereby amplifying overall efficiency and financial viability. The meticulous design of the system is accomplished through advanced MATLAB/Simulink® modeling. A thorough technical sensitivity analysis meticulously hones design parameters, revealing optimal operational thresholds. Simulation outcomes unveil a consistent Stirling engine (SE) efficiency, achieving a pinnacle of 35 %, while the SDSE attains over 28 %, respectively. The horizontal axis wind turbine, encompassing 100 kW and 500 kW modules, demonstrates power coefficients spanning from 0.18 to 0.09, with corresponding land area requirements ranging from 4.22 m2 to 21.10 m2, emphasizing the pivotal roles of module power and land area optimization. This paper also casts a spotlight on the environmental repercussions of the system, illustrating its potential to avert up to 30,000 kg of CO2 emissions per kWh/year. Moreover, the levelized cost of electricity ranges from 0.13 to 0.16 $/kWh, accompanied by an hourly cost that fluctuates between 3 $/h and 40 $/h, respectively. Conclusively, the developed modeling can be regarded as a significant stride in the realm of hybrid renewable energy systems, replacing the conventional photovoltaic/wind models with cutting-edge solar/wind configurations managed by a sophisticated control strategy and battery storage system. |
