Thermal mass and energy recovery utilization for peak load reduction

Using Dynamic Thermal Rating and Energy Storage Systems Technologies Simultaneously for Optimal Integration and Utilization of Renewable Energy Sources

Nowadays, optimal integration and utilization of renewable energy sources (RES) are of the most challenging issues in power systems. The wind and solar generation units' maximum production may or may not occur at peak consumption times resulting in non-optimal utilization of these resources. As a solution to this problem, energy storage systems (ESS) are embedded in networks. However, the power...

Utilization of Thermal Mass in the Toronto Net Zero Energy House for Thermal Comfort and Energy Savings

A detailed model of the Net Zero Energy Town House in Toronto is developed in TRNSYS. The incorporation of thermal mass into the building envelope has been demonstrated to contribute to the enhancement of occupant comfort through the reduction of indoor temperature fluctuations. It has also been shown to cause a decrease in the overall energy consumption associated with the heating and cooling ...

Energy Recovery Study for Polyethylene and Cotton by Thermal Plasma Degradation

A home energy management algorithm in demand response events for household peak load reduction

In the last decades, home energy consumption has increased significantly due to increasing load demand in the residential sector. This paper presents a home energy management (HEM) algorithm to manage the home appliances in a house during a demand response (DR) event. The developed algorithm considers load appliances according to customer preference setting, priority of appliance, and comfortab...
