Fusing Pre-existing Knowledge and Machine Learning for Enhanced Building Thermal Modeling and Control
Buildings play a pivotal role in the ongoing worldwide energy transition, accounting for 30% of the global energy consumption. With traditional engineering solutions reaching their limits to tackle such large-scale problems, data-driven methods and Machine ...
EPFL2024Chip-Scale Watt-Range Terahertz Generation Based on Fast Transition in Nanoplasma Switches
Elison de Nazareth Matioli, Mohammad Rezaei
Despite recent advancements in photonics and electronics, there remains a lack of efficient, compact, high-power sources in the terahertz spectrum (0.3-10 THz). Recent research has revealed that nanoplasma (NP) switches can exhibit extremely fast transitio ...
2024The energy crisis in Europa reveals the importance of reliable hydropower as a catalyst and enabler for the clean and safe energy transition
Hydropower has a long tradition in Europe, contributing significantly during the first half of the last century to the welfare and industrial development of most countries across the continent. Today, reaching nearly 650 TWh of annual generation in an aver ...
2023Strategic PV expansion and its impact on regional electricity self-sufficiency: Case study of Switzerland
Solar photovoltaics (PV) will play an important role in decarbonising the energy system. To date, most assessments of PV transition pathways focus on least-cost aspects, without neither considering the time needed to achieve a substantial PV deployment, no ...
ELSEVIER SCI LTD2023The EU carbon border adjustment mechanism: implications on Brazilian energy intensive industries
Marc Vielle, Sigit Pria Perdana
As an instrument supporting the realization of EU climate neutrality targets by 2050 and encouraging decarbonization outside its borders, the current proposed Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) is facing opposition from some countries. Focusing on B ...
2023A tale of two coal regimes: An actor-oriented analysis of destabilisation and maintenance of coal regimes in Germany and Japan
Phasing out coal-fired electricity is an urgent global task, critical to efforts to mitigate climate change and air pollution. Despite the growth and increasing competitiveness of renewable energy, phase-out progress is slow, with coal-fired power even rea ...
Amsterdam2023Action levers for wellbeing with low energy demand
Why focus on action levers? • Wellbeing with low energy demand is clearly defined in low energy scenarios like LED or DLS, but it is far from obvious how to get there, including even collectively deciding on what is a good transition. • Progressively chang ...
