This study proposes a multi-objective optimization methodology for planning multi-energy complementary distributed energy systems considering process synergy and thermal integration. The process integration tech-nique is integrated into the Energy Hub mode ...
The research of this paper is framed in the context of multi-layered, optimization-based approaches for microgrid control. Specifically, we focus on the design of real-time objectives that are typically proxies of long-term ones. Examples include tracking ...
Laser powder bed fusion (L-PBF) has emerged as an additive manufacturing technique that offers unprecedented design freedom. Besides being capable of producing complex and near net shape objects, L-PBF can impact tremendously the engineering materials comm ...
The load-bearing performance of sandwich bridge decks comprising a balsa core and fiber-reinforced polymer composite face sheets exposed to fire is a main concern regarding the application of these deck systems. In order to obtain the thermal responses of ...
In high-performance buildings, energy storage is a key component in increasing self-consumption of onsite renewable energy, but is also responsible for extra embedded burdens. The main risk is not paying back these extra burdens through operational benefit ...
