In the context of sustainable energy management for buildings equipped with renewable energy sources and battery storage systems, it is crucial to understand the dynamics of the energy supply and demand. The system's behavior is governed by a set of nonlinear differential equations, representing the status of battery charge and the imbalance between energy supply and demand. This article aims to analyze the equilibrium points and stability of the system, providing insights into the optimization of energy management. To find the equilibrium points, we set the derivatives of the state variables equal to zero. By solving the equations 𝑑𝑥1/𝑑𝑡 = 0 and 𝑑𝑥2/𝑑𝑡 = 0, we obtain the equilibrium points. These points represent the steady-state solutions where the system's dynamics are balanced. Next, we linearize the system around each equilibrium point by calculating the Jacobian matrix. The Jacobian matrix is a crucial tool for understanding the local behavior of the system. It provides information about the stability and nature of the equilibrium points. For each equilibrium point, we compute the eigenvalues of the Jacobian matrix. These eigenvalues determine the stability of the equilibrium points. Based on the eigenvalues, we classify each equilibrium point as a node, saddle point, focus, or center. The stability of each equilibrium point can be inferred from the eigenvalues: if all eigenvalues have negative real parts, the equilibrium point is stable; if any eigenvalue has a positive real part, the equilibrium point is unstable; if the eigenvalues have mixed signs, the equilibrium point is neutrally stable. In conclusion, the analysis of equilibrium points and stability in the renewable energy management system is essential for optimizing energy distribution and ensuring the efficiency of the system. By understanding the dynamics of the system, we can develop strategies to enhance the stability and reliability of the energy supply. This research provides valuable insights into the optimization of energy management systems, contributing to the advancement of sustainable energy technologies.
