RaFSIP: Parameterizing ice multiplication in models using a machine learning approach

Accurately representing mixed-phase clouds (MPCs) in global climate models (GCMs) is critical for capturing climate sensitivity and Arctic amplification. Secondary ice production (SIP), can significantly increase ice crystal number concentration (ICNC) in ...

Designing a District Energy Infrastructure-a Case-Study in Lisbon

François Maréchal, Nils Christian Schüler, Sébastien Cajot

The paper describes a case study on the design of district energy infrastructure for the green-field project of the Vale de Santo Antonio (Lisbon, Portugal). The methodology is based on a novel framework built on the sequential integration of three softwar ...

Spatio-Temporal Estimation of Renewable Energy Potential in Built Environments using Big Data

Alina Ursula Rosa Walch

To achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement on climate change, governments around the world must shift to renewable energy (RE) to drastically reduce their CO2 emissions within the next 10-30 years. The development of effective strategies for RE integratio ...

Secondary ice production in summer clouds over the Antarctic coast: an underappreciated process in atmospheric models

Athanasios Nenes, Alexis Berne, Georgia Sotiropoulou, Etienne Gabriel Henri Vignon

The correct representation of Antarctic clouds in atmospheric models is crucial for accurate projections of the future Antarctic climate. This is particularly true for summer clouds which play a critical role in the surface melting of the ice shelves in th ...

Systematic Method for the Energy-Saving Potential Calculation of Air Conditioning Systems via Data Mining. Part II: A Detailed Case Study

Shen Yang, Xianlin Wang

Increased data monitoring enables the energy-efficient operation of air-conditioning systems via data-mining. The latter is projected to have lesser consumption but more comprehensive diagnosis than traditional methods. Following the companion paper that p ...

The impact of secondary ice production on Arctic stratocumulus

Athanasios Nenes, Georgia Sotiropoulou

In situ measurements of Arctic clouds frequently show that ice crystal number concentrations (ICNCs) are much higher than the number of available ice-nucleating particles (INPs), suggesting that secondary ice production (SIP) may be active. Here we use a L ...

Optimization based approach to assist the transition of large energy users to low temperature networks

François Maréchal, Jessen Page, Alberto Mian, Francesca Belfiore

Distric Energy System (DES) represents a promising opportunity to improve energy efficiency and boost the decarbonization of the European energy sector. If most of the studies focus on small consumers typically located within urban areas, large energy user ...
