Power Consumption Modelling of a Realistic Small Scale House; a Sustainable Development Project in Electronic Engineer School
Authors: , ,
Abstract: This paper relates to a concrete sustainable development project introduced at university. A small scale genuine materials house (1/20 scale) with its green energy sources and electronic circuits management have been designed. The building itself has already been described in a previous paper [1]. Thanks to a modular design, different types of measurements are possible, like in a real house for research and educational purposes. This paper focuses on a mixed electrical/thermal modelling of the small scale house. Global behaviour of a temperature regulation system is simulated. Power consumption computation under various scenarios is performed. Experimental measurements are given to confirm modelling validity. As these results are positive, the 1/20 model kit will be transferred as a educational “multi tool” for practical work in a near future.
