Investment Planning Methodology for Complex Urban Energy Systems Applied to a Hospital Site

François Maréchal, Luc Girardin, Jean-Loup Sylvain Robineau, Francesca Belfiore, Bastien Maxence Bornand

Industrial process integration based on mixed integer linear programming has been used for decades to design and improve industrial processes. The technique has later been extended to solve multi-period and multi-scale problems for the design of urban ener ...

Reliability and Performance of Model Predictive Control for Demand Response with Residential Heat Pumps

Frédéric Louis-Pierre Raphaël Marie Amblard

Distributed energy resources like solar panels and wind turbines are increasingly replacing fossil fuel energy sources. Due to their natural fluctuations they cause imbalance in the power grid when their production does not overlap with demand. Thus, there ...

Short-term energy use prediction of solar-assisted water heating system: Application case of combined attention-based LSTM and time-series decomposition

Dolaana Khovalyg, Amirreza Heidari

With improved insulation of building envelopes and the use of low-temperature space heating systems, the share of energy use for domestic hot water (DHW) production in buildings has increased significantly, and nearly become the most energy-expensive servi ...

A New Generation of Thermal Energy Benchmarks for University Buildings

Kavan Javanroodi

In 2008, the Chartered Institution of Building Services Engineers (CIBSE TM46 UC) presented an annual-fixed thermal energy benchmark of 240 kWh/m(2)/yr for university campus (UC) buildings as an attempt to reduce energy consumption in public buildings. How ...

Load Transfer Method for Energy Piles in a Group with Pile–Soil–Slab–Pile Interaction

Lyesse Laloui, Elena Ravera, Melis Sütman

The behavior of an energy pile in a group is different from that of an isolated energy pile due to thermal and mechanical interactions. This study aims to extend the load transfer method to consider the mechanical and thermal interactions of energy piles i ...

Street grids for efficient district cooling systems in high-density cities

Shanshan Hsieh, Arno Schlueter

The feasibility of district cooling systems is linked to their efficiency, which is associated with their capital and operational costs. For reasons of ownership and maintenance, the piping network commonly follows the city's street layout. This paper exam ...

Hybrid GEOTABS: System Concept, Individual Modules and Interfaces

Dolaana Khovalyg

Activating the thermal mass of a building by implementing Thermally Active Building Systems (TABS) assists in reducing energy use for thermal management of buildings by utilizing a low temperature heating and high temperature cooling approach. Coupling TAB ...

Retrofitting, district heating and energy storage: neighborhood energy planning

Jérôme Henri Kämpf, Jakob Moritz Fabian Rager, Fabien Luc Poumadère, Diane Von Gunten

We compare simulated energy retrofitting of individual buildings with energy refurbishments optimized at the scale of the neighborhood. For the neighborhood case, buildings can also be connected together through a heat network. We use a detailed three-dime ...

Reducing the Energy Consumption of Electric Buses With Design Choices and Predictive Driving

Francesco Baldi

Transportation electrification is increasing and recently-more focus has been directed on heavy vehicles and especially on city buses. Battery electric buses are inherently more energy efficient than diesel buses and the efficiency can be further increased ...

High-speed imaging of high pressures produced by cavitation bubbles

Mohamed Farhat, Danail Obreschkow, Outi Supponen

Cavitation bubbles, when correctly tuned, may provide interesting mechanical and chemical effects to their surroundings owing to their violent collapse. Such an event may produce high-speed liquid jetting, extreme heating, as well as pressures of thousands ...
