Novel models towards predictive control of advanced building systems and occupant comfort in buildings

People in developed countries spend today most of their time inside buildings as part of the modern way of life. As a result, the building sector accounts for almost 40% of the total energy consumption and a big part of the energy bill goes to maintain the ...

Evaluation and optimization of renewable energy in the Quartier Nord: objective zero-power

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dasaraden Mauree, Yang Yao

Buildings account for almost 40% of energy consumption in European countries and hence are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent regulations and standards (Minergie, Minergie P, etc.) are strongly encouraging more sustainab ...

Optimisation of unit investment and load shedding in a steam network facing undercapacity

François Maréchal, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde, Laurent Gabriel Félix Alexandre Stéphane Bungener

Steam networks and their utilities should be dimensioned to satisfy day-to-day demand as well peaks. Peaks can be caused by unit start-ups, extreme weather conditions or combinations of high demand from process units. During maintenance operations or unexp ...

Stochastic frequency reserve provision by chance-constrained control of commercial buildings

Maryam Kamgarpour, Xiuwei Zhang

Robust programs with modulated uncertainty sets are problems in which the uncertainty sets are treated as optimization variables. In many applications, these uncertainty sets can be interpreted as reserve capacities for which rewards are offered. One examp ...

Urban Energy System Design from the Heat Perspective using mathematical Programming including thermal Storage

Jakob Moritz Fabian Rager

Energy planning recently received more attention in Switzerland through the new strategy phasing out nuclear energy by 2034. Often however the energy planning is only done from the electrical side. This work takes a different angel and helps communities an ...
