...Shuv Dey; Evan Mallen; Brian Stone; Yogendra Joshi As the rate of urbanization increases, local vegetation is being replaced with man-made materials, causing increasingly adverse impacts on the surface-atmosphere energy balance. These negative effects can be simulated by modeling the urban...

... would significantly change the ESS value stream to include solar power shifting benefit. Further, there would be less benefit to water transfer from the 55” station during peak solar production. For these simulations, a quadratic pumping efficiency, whole zone model including both ESS and DSM were used...

... not possess the knowledge to work with physics-based models (e.g., eQUEST) and therefore the initial BEM may no longer be of use to them. In the present paper, an approach is proposed and assessed through which a physics-based model is developed using eQUEST and simulated for several different operating...

... (Aw, Af, and As) and temperate (Cfa and Cfb) climates. The energy consumption using air-filled IGU was compared to its non-insulated version through computer simulation in E nergy P lus . This sample demonstrated that IGU could generate annual savings in cooling consumption in tropical climates (up...

... with a convex approximation of the original nonconvex problem. The planner uses a descent and convergent method, with the underlying optimization problem being feasible and convex. A yearlong simulation with a realistic plant shows that both of the features of the proposed architecture—periodic model...

.... A simulation model that is used to generate about 250 GB of data is used to evaluate the performance of various algorithms. Fig. 15 Fault detection rates for San Francisco weather with four different distance measures using isolation forest. The fault descriptions are listed in Table 4 . ( a ) Fault...

... the grid during on-peak hours, while maintaining PV panel efficiency in terms of the amount of solar radiation received. In this article, we present a framework that identifies the ideal location of PV panels on residential rooftops. Our framework combines energy and environmental simulation, parametric...

... algorithms through simulation. Many high-fidelity simulation testbeds exist, but they tend to be complex and opaque to users. Simpler, more transparent testbeds also exist, but they tend to neglect important nonlinearities and disturbances encountered in practice. In this paper, we develop a simulation...

... the thermal efficiency of data centers using a simulation-based approach. Here, simulation is used to model and optimize a proposed research data center for use as an environment to test equipment and investigate best practices and strategies such as containment and hybrid cooling. The optimization technique...
