Intensive efforts have been made recently in transforming the power grid into smart grid by means of incorporating extensive information and communication infrastructures. In this paper a versatile stochastic optimization approach has been proposed for smart grid, to suffice the residential customers in an efficient energy management comprising high penetration of renewable and distributed ener...

The number of residential devices that are capable of using more than one kind of energy carrier is increasing. Managing and efficiently utilizing such multi-commodity devices is a complex task. However, such approaches allow for more energy-efficient future residential environments. Therefore, suitable energy management systems are needed that support more than one energy carrier. In this pape...

Here, we do not have to solve any recursion relation or di erential equation explicitly to obtain critical exponents. one has to only diagonarize the scaling matrix at the xed point of RG. On the other hand, in an in nite-order phase transition, the free energy has an essential singularity, and any order derivative of the free energy does not diverge. The correlation length shows strong diverge...

Title of Document: REVIEW OF THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE TECHNOLOGIES AND EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF ADSORPTION THERMAL ENERGY STORAGE FOR RESIDENTIAL APPLICATION Gang Li, Master of Science, 2013 Directed by: Research Professor Yunho Hwang, Ph.D. Mechanical Engineering Thermal energy storage (TES) technologies can reduce or eliminate the peak electric power loads in buildings, and utilize benefit...

We advocate a (Wilson) renormalization-group (RG) treatment of finitetemperature first-order phase transitions, in particular those driven by radiative corrections such as occur in the standard model, and other spontaneously-broken gauge theories. We introduce the scale-dependent coarse-grained free energy SΛ[φ] which we explicitly calculate, using the Wilson RG and a (4 − ε)-expansion, for a s...

A dynamic simulation model of the German residential building stock has been developed. It allows assessing eco-political instruments to reduce final energy demand in buildings and to quantify the corresponding emissions of CO2, NOx, SO2, CH4, NMVOC, and particulate matter (PM). The model simulates the implementation of energy efficiency measures and heating systems based on renewable energy. S...

Residential energy constitutes a significant portion of the total US energy consumption. Several researchers proposed energy-aware solutions for houses, promising significant energy and cost savings. However, it is important to evaluate the outcomes of these methods on larger scale, with hundreds of houses. This paper presents a human-activity based residential energy modeling framework, that c...

Distributed energy resources are expected to pervade the energy system in the future and will contribute to the EU’s policy goals of energy market liberalisation and decreasing environmental impacts from energy use. This modelling study focuses on residential power and heat generation via micro combined heat and power units (μCHP), coupled with heat storage possibilities. The impact of the appl...

Energy simulation is a vital part of energy policy of a country, especially for a developing country like China where energy consumption is growing very rapidly. The present study has been conducted to simulate the total primary energy consumption in residential sector in rural areas in Chongqing by using macro and micro drivers including population size, number of households, persons per house...

The energy sector of trinidad and tobago (T&T), with its nationally determined contributions (NDCs), is still struggling for place in mainstream academic literature. review paper aims to identify the prospects low-cost conservation measures residential T&T. follows a four-step methodology serve as basis creating policy practice guidelines. First, articles are checked their quali...
