Climate change is projected to cause an increase in the severity and frequency of extreme weather events such as heat waves and droughts. Such changes present planning and operating challenges and risks to many economic sectors. In the electricity sector, statistics of extreme events in the past have been used to help plan for future peak loads, determine associated infrastructure requirements, and...
Radiative forcing of clouds and aerosols are of research highlight in climate change science. In this paper, the shortwave radiative forcing of clouds and aerosols were estimated from Geostationary Meteorological Satellite (GMS) 5 data over China from 1998 to 2002, respectively. Such estimation is performed by a newly retrieval strategy based on radiative transfer model, which calculates shortwave...
This paper presents a multidisciplinary modeling approach to quickly quantify climate change impacts on energy consumption, peak load, and load composition of residential and commercial buildings. This research focuses on addressing the impact of temperature changes on the building cooling load in ten major cities across the Western United States and Canada. Our results have shown that by the mid-century,...
