  2. 16. Diffusion of energy-efficient technologies in EU residential buildings

    Author : Clara Camarasa; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; residential building stock; technology diffusion; European Union; decision-making; empirical evidence; energy efficiency; multiple impacts; modelling;

    Abstract : Residential buildings constitute approximately 75% of the European building stock, accounting for around 30% of the EU´s overall energy demand and emissions. They also represent one of the biggest sources of energy saving potential, thus holding a crucial role in achieving EU carbon targets. READ MORE

  4. 17. Synergy between Residential Electric Vehicle Charging and Photovoltaic Power Generation through Smart Charging Schemes : Models for Self-Consumption and Hosting Capacity Assessments

    Author : Reza Fachrizal; Joakim Munkhammar; Joakim Widén; Pei Huang; Uppsala universitet; []

  5. 18. Uncertainty and correlation modeling for load flow analysis of future electricity distribution systems : Probabilistic modeling of low voltage networks with residential photovoltaic generation and electric vehicle charging

    Author : Umar Hanif Ramadhani; Joakim Widén; Joakim Munkhammar; Sarah Rönnberg; Uppsala universitet; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Probabilistic load flow; Electricity distribution systems; Uncertainty model; Correlation model; Photovoltaics; Electric vehicle; Residential buildings; Hosting capacity; Engineering Science with specialization in Civil Engineering and Built Environment; Teknisk fysik med inriktning mot byggteknik och byggd miljö;

    Abstract : The penetration of photovoltaic (PV) and electric vehicles (EVs) continues to grow and is predicted to claim a vital share of the future energy mix. It poses new challenges in the built environment, as both PV systems and EVs are widely dispersed in the electricity distribution system. READ MORE

  6. 19. Buildings as thermal energy storage – Pilot test and large-scale implementation for district heating systems

    Author : Johan Kensby; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
    Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Space heating; Heat load; Heat demand; District heating; Thermal energy storage; Demand side management; Buildings;

    Abstract : Heat loads in a district heating system can exhibit significant variations within a single day, which sets problematic conditions for efficient heat generation. Short-term thermal energy storage (TES) can decrease these daily variations and make the conditions for generating heat more favorable. READ MORE
