On Multiphysical Couplings in Energy Geotechnics: Relevance and Applications

Energy Geotechnics includes several applications related to the recovery and storage of energy from and into the ground, energy transportation, and the management of waste and carbon dioxide generated from energy use. These applications often involve the n ...

Structural Measures as Guides to Ultrastable States in Overjammed Packings

Sangwoo Kim

Jammed, disordered packings of given sets of particles possess a multitude of equilibrium states with different mechanical properties. Identifying and constructing desired states, e.g., of superior stability, is a complex task. Here, we show that in two-di ...

The Role of Occupants in Buildings’ Energy Performance Gap: Myth or Reality?

Dolaana Khovalyg, Matteo Favero, Verena Marie Barthelmes

Buildings’ expected (projected, simulated) energy use frequently does not match actual observations. This is commonly referred to as the energy performance gap. As such, many factors can contribute to the disagreement between expectations and observations ...

Quantifying the impacts of climate change and extreme climate events on energy systems

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Amarasinghage Tharindu Dasun Perera, Vahid Moussavi Nik

Climate induced extreme weather events and weather variations will affect both the demand of energy and the resilience of energy supply systems. The specific potential impact of extreme events on energy systems has been difficult to quantify due to the unp ...

Highlights of the Science and Life of Peter Varga (1946-2018)

Wolf-Dieter Schneider

Peter Varga has passed on October 27, 2018. His pioneering discoveries of chemical resolution at the atomic scale on surface alloys, atomic resolution of ultrathin alkali halides, nucleation of bcc iron in ultrathin films, and the microscopic structure of ...

Hire fast, fire slow: the employment benefits of energy transitions

Marc Vielle, Vincent Moreau, François Richard Vuille, Yann Füllemann

The transition towards decarbonized and efficient energy systems has broad socio-economic implications. We estimate the potential impacts on employment from efforts in energy efficiency in industry, transport and buildings as well as substituting local ren ...

Energy geostructures: anew era for geotechnical engineering practice.

Lyesse Laloui, Melis Sütman

Energy geostructuresprovide low carbon, cost-effective and local energy solutions to structures and infrastructures, which opens a new era for the geotechnical engineering practice, by extending the conventional role of geotechnicaldesign to the one of add ...

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 ...
