Abstract
A system for calculating total lifecycle costs for a building energy management system includes lifecycle costs for a grid-scale battery system. The system includes a battery lifecycle optimizer configured to provide an optimal battery configuration for a building and a building energy system controller. The building energy system controller receives optimum battery configuration information, information relating to the heat ventilation air conditioning system of the building, intrinsic thermodynamic properties of the building, energy tariff schedules and weather forecast data to forecast a monthly peak demand profile. A simulation is run using a battery model, system model along with tariff and weather information to produce an hourly building energy management plan for minimizing overall energy costs with consideration of system lifecycle costs.
