The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) is proposing to provide funding to The George Washington University (GW) to investigate methodologies for integrating electricity generation and energy storage components into urban district energy systems (‘DESs’ – centralized networks of thermal energy connections for heating individual buildings). GW would develop and test an energy management system (‘EMS’ – a simulation tool) for DES applications. The EMS would serve to model a DES with Combined Heat and Power (CHP), renewable photovoltaic (PV) power generation, battery storage, and thermal storage. An existing DES at GW’s Washington DC campus would be used to gather data to inform the development of the EMS.
