Abstract

The paper presents a new sustainable building for London, “The Crystal”, which is designed to be smartgrid-ready. The design includes features such as variable tariffs, wind twinning, demand response, electric vehicle charging and battery storage which enable the building to provide support for active network management. The paper describes the design aims for the building, including its environmental targets, and the uses to which it will be put. It then describes in detail the features and control strategies which are used to deliver the smartgrid benefits and support its BREEAM and LEED ratings.
