Standard and newly designed building blocks for complex urban sites-also designated by urban archetypes - are used in this study to quantify the influence of urban forms on their energy demand and energy systems design. An energy hub, which consists on a m ...
This paper presents a new model of voltage source converter (VSC) based battery energy storage systems (BESSs) that interface with power grids. A VSC-based BESS is made up of a series connection of a VSC, its connecting transformer, and a BF-SS. The VSC al ...

Bidirectional buffered units for Multiports charging of EV’s are presented, allowing to charge with high power even if the line current capability is limited. The systems are also dedicated to operate as reactive power compensators, or to provide grid syst ...
To determine the optimum location for non dispatchable renewable energy systems, this study comes up with an integrated tool to place energy systems considering distributed energy demand and renewable energy potential. The Citysim urban energy planning sof ...
In this paper we discuss progress that has been made in modelling of urban resource flows to support urban designers to optimise the sustainability of their design and planning proposals. In particular we consider models of (i) resource availability, (ii)e ...
