Buildings account for a significant amount of energy consumption leading to the issues of
global emissions and climate change. Thus, energy management in a building is …

Thermal energy storage (TES) is an effective method for load shifting and demand response
in buildings. Optimal TES control and management are essential to improve the …

Despite the abundance of research applications of system modeling in grid-interactive
efficient buildings (GEBs), the transfer of those applications to real-world practices is still in …

Within smart grids, end-users often seek to reduce electricity costs using a home energy
management system, while the power utility aims to optimize the grid operation. This article …

Transactive control (TC) and active thermal energy storage (ATES) strategies can effectively
achieve a supply–demand balance across energy sources in the power grid. However, past …

At present, transactive control (TC) represents a novel demand response control method. As
traditional TC strategies are incapable of determining the market-clearing price, the room set …

The present study analyses the performance of a heating system controlled by a model
predictive control strategy, where the impact of different combinations of thermal energy …

Although electric power networks and district heating networks are physically coupled, they
are not operated in a coordinated manner. With increasing penetration of renewable energy …

With the increasing numbers of distributed energy resources are being installed at more
distributed locations, it is challenging to operate the electric grid systems efficiently against …

Increasing the efficiency and flexibility of electricity demand is necessary for ensuring a cost-
effective and reliable transition to zero-carbon electricity systems. Such demand-side …
