- Abstract
A method for the optimal sizing of energy sources and for the optimal plan of energy management of a positive energy building is presented in this paper. The method, based on linear programming, allows determining the optimal area of a PV installation, the optimal battery installation size, and the minimum power to be contracted with the electricity provider. This optimal sizing allows obtaining the return of the investment costs of the installation and allows obtaining gains from selling the exceeding electricity produced locally. In addition, a proposed optimal plan for energy management permits attaining a positive energy net flux from the power flow in the grid on a daily/monthly/annually average basis and thus leading to economical gains from the locally produced electricity sales.
