Micro-Combined-Heat-and-Power-Plants (μCHP) are one of the key technologies for the energy transition due their ability of a joint production of electrical and thermal energy. By combining and coordinating μCHP plants in a Local Virtual Power Plant (LVPP) the benefits of μCHP can be increased. With the hierarchal layer architecture it is possible also to include restriction of the electric grid in...
In this study, combined PV and battery systems were designed based on typical load profiles for nine commercial and industrial (C&I) end-users. The battery systems were used to manage monthly utility demand charges. Our model optimizes battery capacity and PV charging, with the objective of minimizing monthly peak energy demand charges. We demonstrate system performance within the utility territories...
This paper explores energy efficient building design for manufacturing plants. Many efforts have been directed into the field of building design optimization concerning building energy performance, but most of the studies focus on residential buildings or public buildings. Very limited research results studying plants buildings have been reported. However, plants buildings have certain unique features...
Large-scale MapReduce clusters that routinely process petabytes of unstructured and semi-structured data represent a new entity in the changing landscape of clouds. A key challenge is to increase the utilization of these MapReduce clusters. In this work, we consider a subset of the production workload that consists of MapReduce jobs with no dependencies. We observe that the order in which these jobs...
By early 2009, roughly 60 % of the US capacity will operate in RTO markets. This panel session will discuss why a number of RTOs (NYISO, MISO, CAISO, and ERCOT) in the US are starting to use co-optimization to simultaneously clear energy and ancillary- service products.
ldquoDevelopment for advanced thermoelectric conversion systemsrdquo supported by the new energy and industrial technology development organization (NEDO) has been successfully completed as one of the Japanese national energy conservation projects. Three types of the cascaded thermoelectric modules operating up to 850 K in high electrode temperature and two types of Bi-Te thermoelectric modules operating...
