Phase change materials (PCMs) have received substantial interest for their ability to store
and release latent heat for energy conservation and thermal control purposes. PCMs are …

Residential demand response (DR) aims to stabilize the electricity grid by utilizing the
flexibility of end-users. To this end, end-users are offered time-varying electricity prices and …

Energy communities play a key role in the transition to sustainable energy, helping to inform
and engage end-users so that they can become active energy consumers. In practice, trials …

The energy sector matters the sustainable development directly and is sensitive to climate
change. A few empirical studies concentrate on how climate change influences firm …

As a flexible electricity pricing mechanism, critical peak pricing (CPP) is one of the important
means of demand response under the electricity market. The existing CPP research does …

With rapid industrialization and urbanization, the risk of summer heat exposure for urban
dwellers has increased. The use of air conditioners (ACs) has become the most common …

With the more and more frequent short-term peak loads appear in power systems in recent
years, it is challenging to keep load and frequency steady for power systems. Demand …

The purpose of this study is to optimize the electrical energy cost (EC) of air conditioning
(AC) with consideration of different wall characteristics. The type of wall characteristics is …

Residential space-conditioning-based demand flexibility (DF) has become an increasingly
sought-after method for demand-side load management to enhance grid reliability and …

Residential demand response (DR) programs are designed to reduce peak load from
residential homes. It is essential for utilities to identify how much peak load could be …
