This study addresses an optimisation problem faced by a network of green buildings (NGBs) connected to the main electrical grid. The problem is formulated as a cooperative internal power control among interacting residential buildings. The cooperation is reached through a communication infrastructure in the NGB, where the global central controller of the network is the responsible for the coordination of the local residential buildings' energy management systems by properly allowing the optimal management of the internal and external power flows in each building. The main advantage of the cooperation among residential buildings is to better match the load profile of each building internally (at the network level). In order to achieve this goal, components such as energy storage system, distributed generations and loads are included. The uncertainties characteristics of wind speed, solar irradiation, and loads are also considered for the control and operation of the whole system. A small network of five residential buildings has been simulated using the proposed model. Numerical results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed network.
