Renewable electricity generations have been growing rapidly in recent years worldwide as
a result of efforts to address the global energy issue. However, it has also imposed …

The modern power grid faces multiple challenges due to an increase in the adoption of
renewable generation, such as dynamically balancing supply and demand at different time …

This paper presents a novel demand response estimation framework for residential and
commercial buildings using a combination of EnergyPlus and two-state models for …

Energy demand flexibility from commercial buildings can play a critical role in the ongoing
energy transition. There is an urgent need to redirect more research and deployment efforts …

Prior work showed building Heating, Ventilation, Air Conditioning (HVAC) systems can
provide ancillary services to the power grid without sacrificing occupant comfort if the …

There are numerous opportunities for data centers to participate in demand response
programs considering their large energy capacities, flexible working environments and …

Flexible loads, especially heating, ventilation, and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems can be
used to provide a battery-like service to the power grid by varying their demand up and …

Volt/VAR control (VVC) techniques may be used for purposes such as technical loss
reduction, voltage profile improvement, and conservation voltage reduction. The advent of …

The green energy transition threatens stability of the power grid due to associated reduction
in grid synchronous inertia. Primary frequency control (PFC) can compensate for the …

Increasing quantities of renewable energy generation has yielded a need for greater energy
storage capacity in power systems. Thermal storage in variable air volume (VAV) heating …
