Buildings account for about 40% of the global energy consumption and contribute over 30%
of the CO 2 emissions. A large proportion of this energy is used for thermal comfort in …

Electricity, heating, and cooling are the three main components constituting the tripod of
energy consumption in residential, commercial, and public buildings all around the world …

This paper proposes a novel micro solar Combined Cooling, Heating and Power (CCHP)
cycle integrated with Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC) for summer and winter seasons. The …

Integrated energy systems (IES) with renewable energy systems (RES), carbon capture
systems (CCS) and energy storage systems (ESS) are considered efficient in supporting the …

As energy availability and demand often do not match, thermal energy storage plays a
crucial role to take advantage of solar radiation in buildings: in particular, latent heat storage …

The deployment of intermittent renewables in distributed energy systems has to be managed
so as to maximise local energy self-consumption. This paper deals with the application of …

The mismatch between the energy demand and energy supply is one of the major problems
in low or zero energy buildings with distributed power generations. The policy of time …

The rapidly increasing share of renewables in energy systems is reducing the primary fossil
energy and CO 2 emissions associated with the electricity consumption from the grid. In the …

The global energy supply is transitioning to sustainable, low-carbon energy. Power-to-heat
technology with molten salt thermal energy storage (TES) is a potential way to accommodate …

In the next decades, energy storage technologies will play a major role in decarbonizing the
European heating and cooling sector. In this regard, the deployment of complementary …
