The DES approach provides means to adapt the energy workloads of the system according to any variations of demands that can occur due to temperature regulation requirements or operational demands. Along with a basic model based on a concrete DER configuration, additional models are presented and analysed in order to demonstrate the adaptability of the DES approach to analyse alternative configurations. The models were tested on historical energy consumption data in order to provide the expected workloads and costs. Models are capable to predict the amount of three different energies and cost for the company based on the inside and outside temperatures.Strojarski fakultet, Elektrotehnički fakultet, Građevinski fakultet20202025-03-10 12:48:48Znanstveno delo91986UDK: 005.5COBISS_ID: 20725507DOI: 10.17559/TV-20190626184415ISSN pri članku: 1330-3651sl
