Summary
This report provides a detailed analysis of the hardware building blocks and technological enablers designed to shift the building energy management paradigm. It focuses extensively on three major components: the Real-Time Controller (RTC), the Power Processing Hub (PPH), and the Carnot Battery (CB) systems. The document details how the RTC handles operational schedules generated by Energy Management Systems, showcases performance results from validation experiments in the Karlsruhe and Luxembourg laboratories, and outlines numerical modeling structures for multi-port power hubs and seasonal bidirectional power-to-heat solutions.
