If demand side management in electricity grid is a well known concept, the application to
district heating systems (ie modifying the thermal demand in order to make it more compliant …

Demand side energy flexibility is increasingly being viewed as an essential enabler for the
swift transition to a low-carbon energy system that displaces conventional fossil fuels with …

A two-stage robust optimization (RO) method for buildings' space heating loads (SHLs) in an
integrated community energy system (ICES) is proposed. At the first stage, a bi-level …

This paper examines building energy flexibility at an aggregated level and addresses the
main barriers and research gaps for the development of this resource across three design …

This paper proposes a bi-level optimal integration scheme for buildings' space heating loads
in the integrated community energy system (ICES). The optimal integration scheme consists …

Several studies have indicated a potential to exploit the thermal inertia of individual
residential buildings for demand response purposes using model predictive control and time …

The uncertainty and variability of wind power pose significant challenges to secure and
reliable operation of power systems. Coordinated operation of the electric power system and …
