Vanadium-oxygen cell for positive electrolyte discharge in dual-circuit vanadium redox flow battery

Hubert Girault, Justyna Piwek, Alberto Battistel, Christopher Raymond Dennison

The “dual-circuit redox flow battery” takes advantage of a conventional all-vanadium redox flow battery (VRFB) combined with a separated catalytic hydrogen evolution reactor. Depending on demand, the VRFB can be conventionally discharged or supply H2 by us ...

The Exchangeable Apolipoprotein Nplp2 Sustains Lipid Flow and Heat Acclimation in Drosophila

Bruno Lemaitre, Jean Philippe Boquete, Samuel Rommelaere, Jérémie Piton

In ectotherms, increased ambient temperature requires the organism to consume substantial amounts of energy to sustain a higher metabolic rate, prevent cellular damage, and respond to heat stress. Here, we identify a heat-inducible apolipoprotein required ...

Understanding the performance gap: a machine learning approach on residential buildings in Turin, Italy

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Roberto Boghetti

Buildings account for the highest share of primary energy usage and greenhouse gas emission in the E.U. and U.S. [1], and most of this energy is used for space and water heating. Being able to gain a broader understanding of the gap between predicted and i ...

Urban energy system planning: Overview and main challenges

Nils Christian Schüler, Sébastien Cajot

By looking at opportunities beyond the single building scale, urban planners can significantly contribute to shape energy-efficient and low-carbon cities. However, the complexity involved in such a broad task and the many trade-offs with other sectors impe ...

Balancing hydropeaking mitigation and hydropower production

Giovanni De Cesare, Pedro Filipe De Almeida Manso, Sabine Chamoun, Mathieu Pierre Guy Barnoud

Around 60% of Switzerland’s power production is provided by hydropower. Despite its numerous advantages, the high fluctuations in turbined discharges cause hydropeaking at downstream rivers. Due to the environmental impacts of hydropeaking on fauna and flo ...

The influence of urban form on the grid integration of renewable energy technologies and distributed energy systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Silvia Coccolo, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera

Standard and newly designed building blocks for complex urban sites-also designated by urban archetypes - are used in this study to quantify the influence of urban forms on their energy demand and energy systems design. An energy hub, which consists on a m ...
