This paper investigates demand response measures, using an EnergyPlus simulation model, developed specifically for demand response analysis, in a mixed-used commercial building. The effectiveness of various building ...
Worldwide, variable-speed wind turbine and solar photovoltaic generation are displacing conventional power plant in market schedules. Committing out-of-merit conventional units to redress system synchronous inertia or ...
This paper presents a methodology for the automated calibration of deterministic lumped parameter models in building energy simulation using optimization methods. A heterogeneous model topology is proposed to represent a ...
The continued penetration of renewable energy sources in electricity generation and the de-carbonization of the domestic space heating and hot water sectors is increasing the importance of demand side management (DSM). The ...
Traditional building performance metrics consider a building as a standalone and static utility consumer. Voluntary green building certifications of districts generally aggregate the metrics of standalone and consuming ...
This paper develops an algorithm for energy management of a distribution network considering a restorative plan for most possible devastating contingencies in the network. The distribution network is selfhealing and consists ...
Power network diagrams are typically neither enlightening nor attractive to look at. Encouragingly, though, the visualization of generic complex networks has been an active area of research for the past two decades, and ...
The prediction of water consumption patterns is a challenge, especially when water metering is not available at scale. The paper focuses on the prediction of analytical domestic hot water (DHW) demand profiles for detailed ...
In restructured power systems, generation and commercialization activities became market activities, while transmission and distribution activities continue as regulated monopolies. As a result, the adequacy of transmission ...
Thermal Electric Storage (TES) has emerged as a promising technology for enhancing the flexibility of the built environment to participate in active Demand Side Management (DSM). These devices allow the decoupling of ...
