Modeling North America Energy Demand By Sectors (Residential-Commercial And Transportation)

Selecting the appropriate scenario for forecasting energy demands of residential and commercial sectors in Iran using two metaheuristic algorithms

This study focuses on the forecasting of energy demands of residential and commercial sectors using linear and exponential functions. The coefficients were obtained from genetic and particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithms. Totally, 72 different scenarios with various inputs were investigated. Consumption data in respect of residential and commercial sectors in Iran were collected from the ...

Energy Consumption Modeling in Residential Buildings

In recent years, the issue of energy consumption modeling techniques in the building sector has been widely considered by researchers and managers. Researches indicate that energy consumption in residential sector is one of the main parts of the total consumption. Moreover, the urban residence is supposed as a significant consumer of energy in every country and therefore a focus for energy cons...

Privacy Concerns in Upcoming Residential and Commercial Demand-Response Systems

We explore the privacy concerns arising from the collection of power consumption data in current and future demand-response systems. We claim that in a lax regulatory environment, the detailed household consumption data gathered by advanced metering (AM) projects can and will be repurposed by interested parties to reveal personally identifying information such as an individual’s activities, pre...

Demand Response and Energy Storage for Zero Energy Residential Buildings

The EU climate and energy targets and the decreasing costs have been leading to a growing utilization of solar photovoltaic generation in residential buildings. However, even in buildings with the same level of yearly generation and consumption the mismatch between the demand and the photovoltaic generation profiles leads to high power flows between the household and the grid, which is an ineff...

Modeling Housing Demand for New Residential Buildings in Urban Areas

T his study investigates the factors affecting the demand for new residential buildings in urban areas of Iran during 1976-2010. The demand function for new residential buildings in urban areas was estimated and then the existence of a long-run relationship among variables of this function was studied using the Bounds testing of the Autoregressive Distributed Lag Co-integration procedure. The t...
