Design of a set of indicators suitable to help decision-making on energy strategies for Cuba

Heydi Contreras Peraza

The goal of this Master thesis project was to design a methodology that helps to analyze a set of indicators that can support the decision-making process, by identifying energy strategies with a temporal horizon 2030-2050 in Cuba. Several sources of data a ...

Structures that adapt to loads through large shape changes: design and optimization

Ian Smith, Gennaro Senatore, Arka Prabhata Reksowardojo

The construction industry is a major contributor to the consumption of mined material resources and to the global energy demand. It is thus important to consider energy and material efficiency criteria for the design of civil structures. Through sensing an ...

Systematic Integration of Energy-Optimal Buildings With District Networks

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Ivan Daniel Kantor, Paul Michael Stadler, Raluca-Ancuta Suciu

The residential sector accounts for a large share of worldwide energy consumption, yet is difficult to characterise, since consumption profiles depend on several factors from geographical location to individual building occupant behaviour. Given this diffi ...

Effectiveness of a strategic energy reserve during the energy transition: The case of Switzerland

Paul Adrianus Van Baal

Switzerland is considering implementing a strategic energy reserve, a novel policy instrument that remunerates power plant operators for storing a minimum amount of energy in reservoirs to convert into electricity when called upon. The policy is envisioned ...
