Due to the target of carbon neutrality and the current energy crisis in the world, green,
flexible and low-cost distributed photovoltaic power generation is a promising trend. With …

We describe a method for embedding advanced weather disturbance models in model
predictive control (MPC) of energy consumption and climate management in buildings. The …

Flexibility in buildings is a low-cost alternative to support the electricity network with high
penetration of variable generation. There is a limited understanding of energy flexible …

The electric grid faces increasing challenges in the context of electrification and renewable
energy integration, gradually evolving into a smart grid. Buildings could facilitate this energy …

Buildings account for a large portion of the total energy consumption and they might serve
as a significant thermal storage capacity that can be advantageous for the future energy grid …

Buildings have great energy flexibility potential to manage supply-demand imbalance in
power grids with high renewable penetration. Accurate and real-time quantification of …

Existing studies propose different demand response models and often test them on islands
that represent test-beds for new technologies. However, proposed models are often …

As buildings are becoming an integrated part of the energy system, the potential activation of
the thermal mass as a source of flexibility needs to be considered in energy system …

Transitioning energy systems to renewable sources requires a paradigm shift in system
operation: Rather than only dispatching central generators to match volatile demand, the …

The large-scale integration of distributed resources in flexible direct current (DC) distribution
networks with buildings to the grid presents challenges. These networks can be combined …
