The energy and water sectors are intrinsically linked to meet several consumer needs. A
holistic analysis is required to quantify the technoeconomic and environmental benefits and …

This article investigates the potential of economic model predictive control of complex
residential energy systems with electric coupling to the public grid. The examined system …

While macroscopic modelling and dynamic analyses are topics approached by many to
improve the efficiency of hybrid energy systems, the optimization and control of operational …

An energy storage system is deemed to be an effective way to improve the energy mismatch
between the provision of systems and users' demands for combined cooling, heating, and …

This paper focuses on the difference between the application of a micro-cogeneration
(μCHP) device (the reference case), and an integrated system consisting of a micro …

Combined heat and power generation traditionally allows for higher energy performance
than separate production of heat and electricity. However, the significant increase of the …

In this article, an investigation of a free-piston Stirling engine-based micro-cogeneration
(μCHP) unit is presented. This work is a step towards making the system calculations more …

In this study, an investigation was made into the economic effects of the integration of
residential-scale energy devices. The detailed calculations were performed using an …

Nature teaches us safe, simple and sustainable ways of life. Ancient people used mud and
mortar to build homes to cope with heat waves and cold spells. A long journey from fire to …

Cogeneration is a highly efficient process that decreases the energy supply costs, the
primary energy consumption and reduces emissions at the same time. CHP devices are …
