The rapid growth of air conditioners (ACs) in develo** regions exacerbates some of the
issues present in their electricity systems. Direct Load Control strategies can manage peak …

Cooling in the industry sector contributes significantly to the peak demand placed on an
electrical utility grid. New electricity tariff structures include high charges for electricity …

Although demand-side management (DSM) needs to be more customer centred, either with
or without smart technologies (eg smart grid), less attention has been paid to the develo** …

Photovoltaics and wind generation are currently perceived to be a viable option for reducing
the environmental impact of energy sources while simultaneously showing significant …

Global transactive energy has become more complex due to the extension of its efficiency.
Thus, multi-residential demand responses pose a new challenge in the critical infrastructure …

This paper presents a magnetically coupled hybrid renewable energy system (RES) for
residential applications. The proposed system integrates the energies of a set of PV panels …

In order to address the behavioral characteristics of air conditioning users and help load
aggregators avoid high penalties for breach of contract caused by insufficient response …

Operational optimization of heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems is
crucial to achieving economic and environmental benefits. However, owing to the dynamic …
