There are generally two ways for building energy saving, namely to improve the efficiency of various devices such as HVACs and lighting systems, and to reduce the building loads by using shadings and natural ventilation. While most existing studies focus on the first way, the second way does not increase any hardware investments and can be easily implemented in existing buildings, and thus is the...
Micro smart grid technology provides a desirable infrastructure for energy efficient buildings. In additional to the power source from the grid, a micro grid for buildings may contain autonomous power generators possibly CHP, renewable energy resources such as PV solar cells, power storage devices and system loads including HVAC systems, lighting equipment, IT data centers, etc. With support of a...
Due to various advantages in storage and implementation, simple strategies are usually preferred than complex strategies when the performances are close. Strategy optimization for controlled Markov process with descriptive complexity constraint provides a general framework for many such problems. In this paper, we first show by examples that the descriptive complexity and the performance of a strategy...
