The increase in the renewable energy sources connected to the electricity grid has resulted
in an increased need for frequency regulation. On the demand side, frequency regulation …

With the increased amount of volatile renewable energy sources connected to the electricity
grid, and the phase-out of fossil fuel based power plants, there is an increased need for …

Residential thermostatically controlled loads are good candidates to provide ancillary
services to the power grid. However, some difficulties need to be overcome to harvest their …

Commercial buildings show a great potential for participating in demand response (DR)
programs due to their extensive use of energy-intensive flexible loads such as heating …

Residential heating systems are one of the major consumers of energy globally. Minimizing
this energy consumption and costs calls for energy efficient operation of heating systems …

This paper examines the provision of demand-side ancillary services using building
thermodynamics and heating ventilation and air-conditioning (HVAC) systems. In particular …

This paper develops a robust optimization framework for the day-ahead energy scheduling
of a grid-connected residential user. The system incorporates a renewable energy source …

This paper is the first part of a two-part series in which we present results from one of the first
worldwide experimental demonstrations of frequency regulation in a commercial building …

We consider a cooling system that comprises a building composed of multiple thermally
conditioned zones, a chiller plant, and a thermal storage unit. The electrical energy price is …

The paper addresses the energy management of a building cooling system comprising a
chiller plant with two chillers, a thermal storage unit, and a cooling load representing a …
