The Energy Efficiency Directive Impact on the Industry Sector: Importance of Energy Management

François Maréchal, Greta Martha Van Eetvelde, Elfie Marie Méchaussie

The Energy Efficiency Directive (EED) 2012/27/EU published in October 2012, sets out new requirements for European Member States on energy efficiency, acting on the energy chain from its production to end- use consumption. While improvement of the industry ...

Decentralized Planning of Energy Demand for the Management of Robustness and Discomfort

Karl Aberer, Matteo Vasirani

The robustness of smart grids is challenged by unpredictable power peaks or temporal demand oscillations that can cause blackouts and increase supply costs. Planning of demand can mitigate these effects and increase robustness. However, the impact on consu ...
