Energy Scheduling in a Commercial Building Integrated with a Battery Storage and a Renewable Energy Source

This paper presents a method to smartly manage the use of a battery in a commercial building with solar panels. The aim is to cut down on electricity costs. By connecting the battery to the solar system, the building can integrate with the grid more efficiently. The scheduling considers the prices of electricity for the next day and the expected day-ahead building load and solar power generation for each 15-minute interval. In this paper the problem formulation is based on hybrid of whale and teaching learning-based optimization which is used to solve the scheduling problem, which considers the efficiency of the inverter and the battery. The approach is tested with real data, showing improvements in how energy flows in the system and how profitable it is.
