The demand side is increasingly expected to provide energy flexibility for power grid
economy and reliability. Buildings have various flexibility sources that can be effectively …

As the share of variable renewable energy (VRE) grows in the electric grid, so does the risk
of curtailment. While energy storage and hydrogen production have been proposed as …

This report reviews the prospects for grid-connected electrification of energy end uses in
buildings2 and industry in the United States. 3 While electrification may be desirable for a …

Abstract New York State has nearly 5.3 million buildings, and all of them are vulnerable in
some way to the impacts of climate change. Understanding these impacts is critical, because …

Abstract Photovoltaic-driven Air Conditioning systems (PVAC) use local electricity generated
by distributed Photovoltaic (PV) to drive Air Conditioners (AC). Both the AC cooling load and …

Leveraging the potential flexibility of large electrical loads has become an attractive option
for maintaining grid reliability, especially in electric grids with high penetrations of variable …
