Abstract: The integration of different energy sources to cover with the maximum efficiency the building energy demand is one of the principles for achieving the target of the nearly net Zero Energy Buildings (nNZEBs), as defined by the EPBD recast (2010/31/EU). Following this principle, there has been a shift from a conventional mono-carrier/mono-converter based logic (one energy source is used in one energy converter to meet each load) to a multi-carrier/multi-converter logic (a mix of energy sources feeds two or more energy converters to cover the energy loads).
