Abstract: In this study, a 20-storey hotel building is powered by on-site renewable power generation system, which includes a 225kW wind turbine, 480m² photovoltaic panels, thirty eight 400kWh batteries and 10 electric shuttle buses. According to the TRNSYS simulation results, the system can effectively solve the problem that the peak generation capacity of power generation system does not match the peak demand of building electricity consumption. Buildings equipped with this system can be proved to achieve the goal of zero energy building and zero emission building. Feasibility analysis and economic analysis are held to prove that the scheme can meet the practical requirements to a certain extent and can be implemented in real life.This study is of positive significance for the realization of zero-energy buildings in Hong Kong. From the point of view of time matching between power generation system and building energy consumption, a new scheme is proposed. The simulation is carried out using TRNSYS software, and the results have certain practical significance.
