Reversible solid-oxide cell stack based power-to-x-to-power systems: Comparison of thermodynamic performance

François Maréchal, Jan Van Herle, Philippe Aubin, Ligang Wang, Maria del Mar Perez Fortes, Tzu-En Lin, Yumeng Zhang

The increasing penetration of variable renewable energies poses new challenges for grid management. The economic feasibility of grid-balancing plants may be limited by low annual operating hours if they work either only for power generation or only for pow ...

Cooperative energy management of a community of smart-buildings: A Blockchain approach

Maher Kayal, Olivier Valentin Henri Van Cutsem

Demand Response (DR) is progressively moving from a centralized, unidirectional structure to a set of advanced decentralized mechanisms that better balance distributed supply and demand. This paper presents a decentralized cooperative DR framework to manag ...

An Inertial Parallel and Asynchronous Forward-Backward Iteration for Distributed Convex Optimization

Colin Neil Jones, Georgios Stathopoulos

Two characteristics that make convex decomposition algorithms attractive are simplicity of operations and generation of parallelizable structures. In principle, these schemes require that all coordinates update at the same time, i.e., they are synchronous ...

A versatile and membrane-less electrochemical reactor for the electrolysis of water and brine

Demetri Psaltis, Christophe Moser, Pooria Hadikhani, Enrico Chinello

Renewables challenge the management of energy supply and demand due to their intermittency. A promising solution is the direct conversion of the excess electrical energy into valuable chemicals in electrochemical reactors that are inexpensive, scalable, an ...

Mitigating Load Imbalance in Distributed Data Serving with Rack-Scale Memory Pooling

Babak Falsafi, Edouard Bugnion, Boris Robert Grot, Alexandros Daglis, Stanko Novakovic, Dmitrii Ustiugov

To provide low-latency and high-throughput guarantees, most large key-value stores keep the data in the memory of many servers. Despite the natural parallelism across lookups, the load imbalance, introduced by heavy skew in the popularity distribution of k ...

PerfIso: Performance Isolation for Commercial Latency-Sensitive Services

Sameh Mohamed Elnikety, Calin Iorgulescu

Large commercial latency-sensitive services, such as web search, run on dedicated clusters provisioned for peak load to ensure responsiveness and tolerate data center outages. As a result, the average load is far lower than the peak load used for provision ...
