RISModeling and Simulation of Building Cooling System With Supercooling-Based Ice Energy Storage
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: City’s electricity power grid is under heavy load during on-peak hours throughout summer cooling season. As the result, many utility companies implemented the time-of-use rate of electricity leading to high electricity ...
Effects of Rooftop Photovoltaics on Building Cooling Demand and Sensible Heat Flux Into the Environment for an Installation on a White Roof
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Photovoltaic (PV) panels are commonly used for on-site generation of electricity in urban environments, specifically on rooftops. However, their implementation on rooftops poses potential (positive and negative) impacts ...
Resilience of Complex Adaptive Systems: A Pedagogical Framework for Engineering Education and Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The discourse on resilience, currently at the forefront of research and implementation in a wide variety of fields, is confusing because of its multi-disciplinary/spatial/temporal nature. Resilience analysis is a discipline ...
Demand Side Management: Optimal Demand Response in Distribution Networks With Several Energy Retail Companies
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: In this work, a social welfare maximization problem is solved to determine the optimal scheduling of end-user controllable loads, smart appliances, and energy storage. The framework considers multiple retail energy suppliers ...
Optimization of PV Cleaning Practices: Comparison Between Performance-Based and Periodic-Based Approaches
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Soiling of photovoltaics (PV) panels is affected by various factors such as relative humidity, dust concentration, and panel tilt angle. The soiling can lead to significant losses in electricity production, especially in ...
Overlooked Role of Technology in the Sustainability Movement: A Pedagogical Framework for Engineering Education and Research
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The term “sustainability” has acquired an all-encompassing ambiguous aura, given that it touches on all facets of human endeavor. This paper, meant to provide a pedagogical framework for engineering education, starts by ...
Energy Usage Intensity of Bank Building Stock: A Case Study in Pakistan
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: Energy usage intensity (EUI, kWh/m2/year) of a building category helps energy managers and building owners in evaluating the energy performance of their buildings. Banks are energy-intensive buildings, but there is limited ...
Using Cluster Analysis and Dynamic Programming for Demand Response Applied to Electricity Load in Residential Homes
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper develops means to analyze and cluster residential households into homogeneous groups based on the electricity load. Classifying customers by electricity load profiles is a top priority for retail electric providers ...
Providing Grid Services With Heat Pumps: A Review
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: The integration of variable and intermittent renewable energy generation into the power system is a grand challenge to our efforts to achieve a sustainable future. Flexible demand is one solution to this challenge, where ...
Multiple-Benefit Analysis of Scaling-Up Building Energy Efficiency Programs: The Case Study of Tunisia
Publisher: The American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME)
Abstract: This paper evaluates the benefits of scaling-up energy efficiency and renewable energy programs for the building sector in Tunisia. Both energy and non-energy benefits are quantified using a bottom-up analysis approach to ...
