In order to solve the problem of which the dynamic response of a supercapacitor (SC) is limited due to the mismatch dynamic characteristics between the DC/DC converter and supercapacitor in an energy storage system, this paper proposes a hybrid model predictive control strategy based on a dual active bridge (DAB). The hybrid model predictive control model considers the supercapacitor and DAB in a unified way, including the equivalent series resistance and capacitance parameters of the SC. The method can obtain a large charging and discharging current of the SC, thereby not only improving the overall response speed of the system, but also expanding the actual capacity utilization range of the SC. The simulation results show that compared with the model prediction method of the dual active bridge converter, the proposed control method can effectively improve the overall response speed of the system, which can be improved by at least 0.4 ms. In addition, the proposed method increases the actual upper limit of the SC voltage, reduces the actual lower limit of the SC voltage, and then expands the actual capacity utilization range of the SC by 18.63%. The proposed method has good application prospects in improving the dynamic response performance of energy storage systems.

Abstract The paper studies the energy renovation of a residential building with new façade solutions combining smart ventilated window (VW) and PCM energy storage and the corresponding control strategy to ensure energy savings. The study is carried out by Energyplus modelling comparing the energy consumption and thermal comfort of an apartment before and after renovation. A detailed control strategy is introduced and simulated. The modelling results of the apartment before and after retrofit indicate that with the designed control strategies, the average energy saving percentage of the apartment with PCM energy storage and VW compared to the apartment without PCM energy storage and VW is 29%. The rooms with PCMVWs achieve higher energy saving than the rooms with only VWs. The PCM energy storage improves energy performance of the VWs for both heating and cooling seasons. With the renovation, the thermal comfort of all the rooms are improved for cooling season.
