Demand Side Management for Enhanced Integration of Photovoltaics into Grid

Christophe Ballif, Yannick Samuel Riesen, Raffael Fabian Tschui, Christophe Germain Boillat

Demand side management could be a very effective way to shift electric consumption of households to the maximum production hours of photovoltaic (PV) systems. A field study on more than 100 households were performed to evaluate the share of electric consum ...

Novel models towards predictive control of advanced building systems and occupant comfort in buildings

Nikolaos Zarkadis

People in developed countries spend today most of their time inside buildings as part of the modern way of life. As a result, the building sector accounts for almost 40% of the total energy consumption and a big part of the energy bill goes to maintain the ...

Evaluation and optimization of renewable energy in the Quartier Nord

Yuchen Yang, Yao Yang

The energy demand increases worldwide and due to the fact that fossil fuel is still dominating the energy mix, the corresponding CO2 emission becomes a more serious problem that threatens the global environment. The building sector is the largest energy co ...

Evaluation and optimization of renewable energy in the Quartier Nord: objective zero-power

Jean-Louis Scartezzini, Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Dasaraden Mauree, Yang Yao

Buildings account for almost 40% of energy consumption in European countries and hence are responsible for a significant part of greenhouse gas emissions. Recent regulations and standards (Minergie, Minergie P, etc.) are strongly encouraging more sustainab ...

Signaling in 3-D integrated circuits, benefits and challenges

Somayyeh Rahimian Omam

Three-dimensional (3-D) or vertical integration is a design and packaging paradigm that can mitigate many of the increasing challenges related to the design of modern integrated systems. 3-D circuits have recently been at the spotlight, since these circuit ...

An ex-post evaluation of the effectiveness of the Swiss CO2 levy: Final report Module B

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle

The report analyse the impact of the CO2 levy implemented since 2008. We analyze two main scenarios. First, a historical scenario that includes the CO2 levy and the exemption regimes and replicates the historical development of the Swiss economy and in par ...

A Study on Buffer Distribution for RRAM-based FPGA Routing Structures

Giovanni De Micheli, Pierre-Emmanuel Julien Marc Gaillardon, Xifan Tang, Somayyeh Rahimian Omam

Compared to Application-Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Field Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs) provide reconfigurablity at the cost of lower performance and higher power consumption. Exploiting a large number of programmable switche ...

Energy consumption of buildings – direct impacts of a warming climate and rebound effects

Philippe Thalmann, Marc Vielle, Jérémy Laurent-Lucchetti, Camille Gonseth

Four most important results: 1. Heating energy demand of Swiss households decreases by 0.5% for a 1% decrease in heating degree days. 2. The decrease in heating energy consumption is not offset by an increase in cooling energy consumption. 3. Despite consi ...
