A model to design and optimize multi-energy systems in buildings at the design concept stage

Fabrizio, Enrico; Corrado, Vincenzo; Filippi, Marco - In: Renewable Energy 35 (2010) 3, pp. 644-655

Increasing interest is currently being addressed to multi-energy systems in buildings. These systems integrate different energy sources, at least one of which is renewable, in order to cover the thermal and electrical loads of a building. Since the design and operation of such systems are very...

Multi-objective design optimisation of standalone hybrid wind-PV-diesel systems under uncertainties

Maheri, Alireza - In: Renewable Energy 66 (2014) C, pp. 650-661

Optimal design of a standalone wind-PV-diesel hybrid system is a multi-objective optimisation problem with conflicting objectives of cost and reliability. Uncertainties in renewable resources, demand load and power modelling make deterministic methods of multi-objective optimisation fall short...

Alternative pathways for providing access to electricity in developing countries

Mainali, Brijesh; Silveira, Semida - In: Renewable Energy 57 (2013) C, pp. 299-310

The discussion on electrification pathways tends to dangle between the merits of centralized on-grid versus decentralized off-grid electrification, and most of the time, both routes are promoted in parallel. However, the basis for choosing pathways has neither been very clear nor rational. This...
