[Bldg-sim] Fw: [Building Simulation Users Group] BSUG April 27th - Decarbonized Building and District Energy Systems

Wed Apr 6 09:57:08 PDT 2022

Hello All,

Our next BSUG is right around the corner! On April 27th we will be hosting Michael Wetter from LBNL. He will be discussing the new generation of computing tools for decarbonized building and district energy systems based on open standards. Or Decarbonized Building and District Energy Systems for short. To learn more about this lecture please see below or to register you can use this link: https://uidaho.zoom.us/meeting/register/tZYtdu2oqDIiGtwDK7sphDp3zx25KPhTSlXF or the one below. We hope to see you there!

Sincerely,

DYLAN AGNES, M.ARCH

Description:

Due to demands caused by climate change, the energy sector is undergoing a rapid transition. Energy systems for buildings and communities need to become decarbonized, grid-responsive, resilient, and adaptive to changes in usage, technology options, and markets. This leads to increased complexity in their design and operation. Fortunately, new energy systems provide an opportunity to integrate and optimize renewables and storage across multiple prosumers and energy carriers. New system architectures and control challenges emerge, as do new requirements on design flows that can manage the increased complexity. After laying out these challenges, we will present recent progress on new generation computational tools for building and district energy and control systems. We will also present new tool chains that allow for rapid system-level prototyping, model-based design flow and digitization, ranging from design to installation and operation. We will close with a discussion about what foundation should be built to meet design and operation challenges of decarbonized energy systems.

Bio:
Michael Wetter
Michael Wetter is a Staff Scientist at the Simulation Research Group at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory (LBNL). His research includes integrating building performance simulation tools into the research process, as well as their use for design and operation. He is leading the development of Spawn of EnergyPlus, a next-generation simulation engine for building and district energy and control systems, OpenBuildingControl, a project that digitizes the control delivery process, and the Modelica Buildings Library, the largest Modelica library for building energy and control systems. He has also been developing the Building Controls Virtual Test Bed software for co-simulation and model-based operation, co-simulation tools based on the Functional Mockup Interface standard and the GenOpt optimization program. He is the co-operating agent of IBPSA Project 1 and was co-operating agent of IEA EBC Annex 60, two multinational collaborations that develop new generation computational tools for buildings and community energy systems between 2013 and 2022. Prior to joining LBNL, he led the development of building system models at the United Technologies Research Center (UTRC). He did his dissertation at the University of California at Berkeley and at LBNL, where he created the GenOpt optimization program and the BuildOpt building simulation program and where he developed the first building energy optimization technique that provably converges to the optimal building design. He is a recipient of the bi-annual Outstanding Young Contributor Award of IBPSA and of the bi-annual Distinguished Achievements in Building Simulation Award of IBPSA-USA. He is the Chair of the College of Fellows of IBPSA, an IBPSA Fellow, and a member of the Board of Directors of the Modelica North America Users’ Group. He was Treasurer of IBPSA and President of IBPSA-USA.
