Strategies to maximise the autonomy of neighbourhoods with the integration of renewable energies

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Dasaraden Mauree, Karni Siraganyan

A simulation tool (EcoSim) has been developed to analyse the economic and environmental aspects of the integration of several energy conversion units. For a given investment over 25 years, the tool calculates the self-consumption rate, the autonomy level, ...

A linear programming approach to the optimization of residential energy systems

Jan Van Herle, Priscilla Caliandro, Dirk Lauinger

A decision-support tool (ORES) in the form of a linear program is developed to determine the optimal investment and operating decisions for residential energy systems. It shows how energy conversion units such as a cogeneration fuel cell, a heat pump, a bo ...
