Modeling study demonstrates optimized scheduling reduces net costs and emissions in an office building, suggesting flexible assets improve solar grid integration.
High photovoltaic (PV) penetration can create hourly mismatches among office-building demand, renewable generation, electricity prices, and grid carbon intensity. This study develops a reproducible, deterministic, time-coupled day-ahead mixed-integer linear programming model for a predetermined PV–battery energy storage system (BESS), simplified heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) load response, and electric-vehicle (EV) charging/vehicle-to-building operation. Separate charging and discharging variables, binary operating states, a cyclic 50% BESS terminal state of charge, and PV- and grid-origin battery accounts eliminate simultaneous operation, initial-energy depletion, and grid-to-BESS-to-grid arbitrage. Five scenarios and five one-factor-at-a-time sensitivity families are independently re-optimized for a Suzhou office-building case. For the selected summer day, Scenario 2 costs 1974.04 CNY. Scenario 3 costs 1974.73 CNY before DR revenue, earns 323.85 CNY, and has a net cost of 1650.88 CNY. Its grid import and grid-side emissions are 1.27% and 1.28% below Scenario 2, respectively, whereas its pre-incentive cost is 0.04% higher. The corrected DR formulation leaves the reported optima unchanged within 2.6 × 10−9. The maximum hourly balance residual across all runs is 1.3 × 10−9 kW.
