Islanded house design using distributed generation technology

In this research we designed an islanded house which is supposed to generate its own energy. The house is equipped with distributed generation sources, like microCHP and solar panels. The house is also equipped with heat and electricity buffers to store the generated energy. Another technology which is introduced to the house is the Power Router machine. Based on the islanded house model, different configurations have been developed to simulate different scenarios. The simulation is done for different electricity and heat demand profiles. We used four different demand profiles which represents four seasons. We studied the effect of buffer sizes on the amount of the imported and exported electricity. Further simulations and analysis were carried out for configurations and scenarios that include a grid connected house model to analyse the differences between an islanded house and a grid connected house. The same demand profiles have been used in the grid connected simulation. In these scenarios it was possible to export and import electricity from grid.
