The rapid development of remote telemetry, control and communication technologies in
smart grids enables the demand side to provide energy flexibility for power grid economy …

For decades, load shifting control, one of most effective peak demand management
methods, has attracted increasing attentions from both researchers and engineers. Different …

This paper proposes and demonstrates the effectiveness of an economic model predictive
control (MPC) technique in reducing energy and demand costs for building heating …

The thermal storage potential in commercial buildings is an enormous resource for providing
various ancillary services to the grid. In this paper, we show how fans in Heating, Ventilation …

Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) systems, combined with the internal
thermal mass of buildings, have been deemed to be promising means of providing demand …

Electric demand flexibility in buildings has been deemed to be a promising demand
response resource, particularly for large commercial buildings, and it can provide grid …

This study uses an advanced airflow, energy and humidity modelling tool to evaluate the
potential for residential mechanical pre-cooling of building thermal mass to shift electricity …
