Buildings account for nearly 40% of energy consumption in the United States. To improve energy efficiency and reduce peak demand, intelligent building management systems can be developed to manage the energy consumption of flexible loads such as heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) system an electric vehicle (EV) charging, as well as the usage of energy storage systems such as batteries...
Buildings account for nearly 40 percent of the total energy consumption in the United States. As a critical step toward smart cities, it is essential to intelligently manage and coordinate the building operations to improve the efficiency and reliability of overall energy system. With the advent of smart meters and two-way communication systems, various energy consumptions from smart buildings can...
The heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system accounts for half of the energy consumption of a typical building. Additionally, the need for HVAC changes over hours and days as does the electric energy price. Level of comfort of the building occupants is, however, a primary concern, which tends to overwrite pricing. Dynamic HVAC control under a dynamic energy pricing model while meeting...
There are a variety of flexible energy demand loads in modern buildings. In particular, heating, ventilation and air conditioning (HVAC) system accounts for around 50% of buildings' total energy consumption and is a major source for energy scheduling flexibility. Electric vehicle (EV) charging is an emerging load in many buildings, and may also provides scheduling flexibility depending on the charging...
Building stock consumes 40% of primary energy consumption in the United States. Among various types of energy loads in buildings, HVAC (heating, ventilation, and air conditioning) and EV (electric vehicle) charging are two of the most important ones and have distinct characteristics. HVAC system accounts for 50% of the building energy consumption and typically operates throughout the day, while EV...
In this paper, an improved game-theoretic spectrum sharing algorithm is proposed. Besides considering the available bandwidth, a reliance factor that represents how the primary users would like to lease the free spectrum to secondary users is introduced and the battery capacity of secondary users is taken into account. The simulation results show that the shared spectrum is in direct proportion to...
