Abstract: One of the ways to decarbonize cities and to enhance grid stability is to convert existing buildings into prosumers equipped with power plants able to supply electrical and thermal energy. The simulation of such multi-energy systems permits the analysis of their performance in steady-state and dynamic conditions, with the aim of defining effective operating strategies able to reduce emissions and costs. The present paper describes a dynamic simulation model, implemented in the Matlab/Simulink R2025a environment, developed to simulate the daily and weekly operation of a prosumer building equipped with a small-sized cogeneration unit, a Photovoltaic (PV) plant, a back-up boiler, a thermal storage system and some charging points for Electric Vehicles (EVs). The mathematical model is reported in detail, and the main results of the study are described, referring to operating days characterized by different weather conditions. Then, energy, economic and environmental performance indicators are defined and calculated for the different simulated scenarios. Over the considered time horizons, the simulation results highlight a significant increase in the electrical self-sufficiency of the facility up to 91.1% and an important reduction in total net operating costs up to 59.8%, compared to the AS-IS case (i.e., without the newly installed technologies).
