Abstract
This paper presents a simulation-based case study of a hybrid energy hub located at The Green Village (TGV), a living lab for sustainable innovations in Delft, The Netherlands. The energy hub integrates photovoltaic (PV) generation, battery storage, hydrogen production, seasonal storage, and usage to provide a fully electrified one-person residence, serving as a realistic testbed for the integration of renewable energy. A model of the hub is developed in Simulink/Matlab using historical operational data to simulate system behaviour under various edge case scenarios and system configurations. The model enables the evaluation of system-level interactions, operational strategies, and the impact of design choices on energy efficiency, self-sufficiency, and hydrogen integration. The simulation results show the sensitivity of the system performance to component sizing and EMS settings. This study provides valuable insights into the control and optimisation of The Green Village’s energy hub and its integrated energy systems, contributing to the practical deployment of resilient and sustainable energy hubs in the built environment.
