With building electric demand becoming increasingly dynamic, and a growing percentage of
intermittent renewable power generation from solar photovoltaics and wind turbines, the …

Abstract The concept of Smart Buildings was introduced by the Energy Performance
Building Directive, with the aim to promote energy flexibility, renewable energy production …

Energy flexibility, through short-term demand-side management (DSM) and energy storage
technologies, is now seen as a major key to balancing the fluctuating supply in different …

This paper reviews recent research on the demand flexibility of residential buildings in
regard to definitions, flexible loads, and quantification methods. A systematic distinction of …

Current power systems are rapidly changing and becoming more challenging with the
increasing penetration of distributed energy resources, renewable energy resources, and …

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 …

Existing grids have been designed with traditional large centralized generation in mind;
however, with the ever-increasing utilization of renewable distributed energy resources, the …

Buildings play a crucial role in global electricity consumption, but their function is evolving.
Rather than merely consuming energy, buildings have the potential to become energy …

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 …

As demand response and energy flexibility are often suggested as key principles to facilitate
high levels of renewable energy sources into energy markets, different studies evaluated the …
