Abstract: This paper explores the implementation of the Building To Vehicle To Building (V2B2) scheme in European Countries, by evaluating the influence of weather conditions and local energy market prices on its energy and economic performance. The use of electric vehicles as energy vectors among buildings belonging to a virtual cluster is the key aspect of the V2B2 scheme: by exploiting mobile electric storage devices, renewable electricity produced by building integrated PV panels is shared among diverse users and consumed off-site. This novel energy management scheme has a twofold aim: i) promoting energy flexibility and efficiency in multiple buildings by improving the share of self-consumed renewable electricity at a cluster level and ii) reducing the interaction with the power grid. The proposed cluster includes two buildings, a house and an office space, and an electric vehicle, and it can be considered as the basic nucleus of human linked energy users.
