Energy efficiency in a building complex through seasonal storage of thermal energy in a confined aquifer
Confined aquifers are formations surrounded by impermeable layers called cap rocks and bed rocks. These aquifers are suitable for the seasonal storage of thermal energy. A confined aquifer was designed to meet the cooling and heating energy needs of a residential building complex located in Tehran, Iran. The annual cooling and heating energy needs of the buildings were estimated to be 8.7...
متن کاملCost-Effectiveness of Electricity Energy Efficiency Programs
We analyze the cost-effectiveness of electric utility rate payer–funded programs to promote demand-side management (DSM) and energy efficiency investments. We develop a conceptual model that relates demand growth rates to accumulated average DSM capital per customer and changes in energy prices, income, and weather. We estimate that model using nonlinear least squares for two different utility ...
متن کاملThe cost of efficiency in energy metabolism.
In a universe being dragged into disorder by the second law of thermodynamics, living cells must expend energy to maintain their complex organization. In addition to providing a carbon source for biosynthesis, the classical Embden–Meyerhof–Parnas (EMP) and Entner-Doudoroff (ED) pathways help to satisfy this energetic demand by generating ATP during glucose metabolism (1). Based on simple stoich...
متن کاملSmart energy management as a means towards improved energy efficiency
The costs associated with refrigerator equipment often represent more than half of the total energy costs in supermarkets . This presents a good motivation for running these systems efficiently. In this study, we investigate different ways to construct a reference behavior, which can serve as a baseline for judging the performance of energy consumption. We used 3 distinct learning models: Multi...
متن کاملA Novel Technique for Joint Energy and Reserve Dispatch Considering Lost Opportunity Cost
This paper presents a novel solution method for joint energy and Spinning Reserve (SR) dispatch problem. In systems in which the Lost Opportunity Cost (LOC) should be paid to generators, if the LOC is not considered in the dispatch problem, the results may differ from the truly optimum solution. Since the LOC is a non-differentiable function, including it in the formulation makes the problem so...
