Design Considerations for Residential Solar Heating and Cooling Systems Utilizing Evacuated Tube Solar Collectors

As solar heating systems become a commercial reality, greater efforts are now being employed to incorporate solar cooling components in order to obtain a complete solar heating and cooling system, and thus take advantage of the cost-effectiveness of year-round use of the solar equipment. The solar heating and cooling system design presented in this paper incorporates design considerations which...

Cooperation in P2P Systems through Sociological Incentive Patterns

While the performance of peer-to-peer (p2p) systems largely depend on the cooperation of the member nodes, there is an inherent conflict between the individuals’ self interest and the communal social welfare. In this regard, many interesting parallels between p2p systems and cooperation in human societies can be drawn. On the one hand, human societies are organized around a certain level of alt...

A Distributed Scheme for Incentive-based Residential Demand Response

Demand response (DR) enables customers to adjust their electricity usage to balance supply and demand. Although commercial and industrial DR have been in use for decades, residential DR is still emerging. The goal of this paper is to design a DR scheme for residential customers. We consider households operating various appliances and propose a distributed DR scheme to manage the appliances to k...
