Method and installations for providing energy, particularly thermal energy, in at least one building or the like, and related system

A method for supplying energy, in particular thermal energy, in at least one building by means of an installation comprising:

• items of energy collection and transfer equipment, each with a respective source;
• items of energy transformation equipment, at least partially fed by the items of collection equipment;
• and
• items of equipment that are users of energy;
• wherein the method including a regulation is operated placing the items of equipment in respective activation states chosen as a function of the demand and of parameters;
• and
• wherein at an instant of intervention of the regulation, the regulation comprises incorporating forecasts relating to at least one of the parameters, said forecasts concerning a period subsequent to said instant of intervention,
• wherein the at least one parameter to be incorporated into forecasts comprises a parameter of the state of a storage structure,
• wherein the method comprises the following steps:
• before commissioning the installation, on the basis of data, to expected building use, and to geographical and climatic environment of the building, establishing a time-stamped scenario of the energy flows of the different items of equipment;
• in service, collecting items of information, and readjusting the scenario as a function of said items of information,
• the items of information collected comprising meteorological forecasts,
• the readjustment of the scenario involving machine learning, based on processing establishing a time correlation between past energy needs observed in the building, and meteorological and calendrical parameters;
• and
• in service, performing the scenario in its most recent version;
• wherein the activation states defined by the method at a given instant are chosen to achieve an optimization on the basis of accessible items of information.
