During the design phase of an aircraft manufacturing system, different industrial scenarios need to be evaluated according to key performance indicators to achieve the optimal system performance. It is a highly complex process involving multidisciplinary s ...
Building sector decarbonisation involves large scale integration of renewable energy sources within the energy mix commonly used to fulfil the heat demand. For this, to combine several energy sources and to control conversion systems based on a systemic ap ...

In light of the energy transition, it becomes a widespread solution to decentralize and to decarbonize energy systems. However, limited transformer capacities are a hurdle for large-scale integration of solar energy in the electricity grid. The aim of this ...
The contemporary energy context can be considered as a period of energy transition, where the latest protocols focus on limiting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and improving energy efficiency across the different energy consumption sectors. As the largest ...

Solar energy offers a great potential for integration with industrial processes, which conventionally
rely on fossil fuels to provide energy. The seasonal, daily, and regional dependence of solar energy
alongside the scarcity of space or financial resource ...
Occupant behavior, defined as the presence and energy-related actions of occupants, is today known as a key driver of building energy use. Closing the gap between what is provided by building energy systems and what is actually needed by occupants requires ...
In the framework of the Solar Decathlon 2017 in Denver, Colorado, the Swiss team will propose a community house powered by solar energy and smart grid interaction Thanks to an integrated design with multi-oriented facades, which were boosted by customized ...
Solar energy is a prime way to reach net zero energy buildings. Addressing buildings’ energy needs is a priority because buildings are the largest demander of energy (followed by industry then transport). However, harvesting energy from solar farms, implie ...
Standard algorithm of building’s energy strategy often use electricity and its tariff as the sole criterion of choice. This paper introduced an algorithmic regulation using global warming potential (GWP) of energy flux, to select which installation will sa ...
Architectures are common means for organising coordination between components in order to build complex systems and to make them manageable. They allow thinking on a higher plane and avoiding low-level mistakes. Architectures provide means for ensuring cor ...
