Microgrid (MG) technologies exhibit attractive features such as high power quality, reliability,
sustainability and environmental friendly energy to the consumers using control and energy …

Heating, cooling and lighting appliances in buildings account for more than one third of the
world's primary energy demand and there are great potentials, which can be obtained …

This paper depicted the novel data mining based methods that consist of six models for
predicting accurate future heating and cooling load demand of water source heat pump, with …

Predicting building energy load is important in energy management. This load is often the
result of steam heating and cooling of buildings. In this paper, a data-driven approach for the …

In a prior study, the authors showed that decomposing holistic, blackbox building energy
models into discrete components can increase the computational efficiency of large-scale …

This article investigates the feasibility of achieving higher performance from ground-source
heat-pumps (GSHP) in space heating mode through the use of solar thermal collectors. A …

Exergy or availability is an accurate metric related to quality of energy and it is used to
determine sustainability of an energy system. Exergy has been extensively used to evaluate …

This paper presents a comprehensive exergy analysis of three circuits and whole system of
a ground-source heat pump (GSHP) for both building heating and cooling modes. The …

The study of the dynamic characteristics of the district heating (DH) systems is a necessary
prerequisite for the control strategy. Through the study of the primary system and secondary …

Abstract Space heating is the largest energy end use, consuming more than seven
quintillion joules of site energy annually in the US building sector. A few recent studies …
