The path towards energy sustainability is commonly referred to the incremental adoption of
available technologies, practices and policies that may help to decrease the environmental …

In this paper, various aspects of trigeneration power plants including advantages,
challenges and criteria for high efficiency operation are discussed. In trigeneration systems …

Microgrids are subsystems of the distribution grid, which comprises generation capacities,
storage devices, and controllable loads, operating as a single controllable system either …

This paper proposes a new framework for home energy management (HEM) in the context
of renewable-based residential energy hub using a probabilistic optimization approach …

In this paper we deal with the problem of efficiently optimizing microgrid operations while
satisfying a time-varying request and operation constraints. Microgrids are subsystems of the …

The deployment of small (< 1-2 MW) clusters of generators, heat and electrical storage,
efficiency investments, and combined heat and power (CHP) applications (particularly …

A smart building energy system usually contains multiple energy sources such as power
grids, autonomous generators, renewable resources, storage devices, and schedulable …

Hydrogen can be used as an Energy Storage System (ESS) in a microgrid allowing to store
surplus generation of variable renewable sources for later use. Research in the area mainly …

The European Energy Exchange (EEX) day ahead spot market for electricity in Germany
shows significant variations in prices between peak and off-peak hours. Being able to shift …

Policy makers are increasingly focused on strategies to decentralize the electricity grid. We
analyze the business model for one mode of decentralization—microgrids—and quantify the …
