This study compares four developed energy management strategies for a grid-connected
photovoltaic-battery (PVB) system in a district energy system comprising four diverse …

A significant portion of building energy usage globally goes toward space heating and
cooling, and whether using individual building systems or district systems, those loads are …

Latest generations of district heating and cooling systems are characterised by low network
temperature with uninsulated pipes, decentralised heat pumps and chillers to modulate the …

A chiller plant with a water-side economizer (WSE) system is an environmental technology
that utilizes the low-grade natural cooling source to optimize the cooling supply and reduce …

Shallow geothermal offers great potential to supply emission-free heating and cooling and
has therefore a pivotal role in the transition of heating and cooling networks. This paper …

Particle-based thermal energy storage technologies could facilitate increased penetration of
variable renewable energy resources by decreasing the costs of providing dispatchable …

Thermostatically controlled loads (TCLs) in buildings are ideal resources to provide
regulation services for power systems. As large-scale and centralized TCLs with high …

Water-side economizer (WSE) is an effective free-cooling solution aiming to enhance the
natural cooling duration and in turn reduce the cooling-energy consumption of data centers …

Global warming has led to higher ambient temperatures in traditionally cold regions in
Europe such as the UK. While implementing strategies in residential dwellings to meet the …

Although buildings are transitioning towards complex, dynamic, and interconnected
systems, traditional engineering metrics that dominate today don't capture several important …
