In Romania, water intended for human consumption is obtained from surface water (90-92%) and underground water resources, and the existent systems of water supply cover only 65% of population consumption (97% for urban population). Under EEA Financial Mechanism, INCD ECOIND and STIFTELSEN SINTEF...

This paper deals with the design of a system for decisional support dedicated to an anti-hail system. It is proposed a specific system for Romania anti-hail network, which completes the existing systems with specific information in order to identify the best solutions for both coordination and...

The analysis of the development and establishment of a monitoring system that would meet the necessary requirements and provide the system of higher education planning with data using contemporary models and information technologies has been performed. The adequacy of monitoring system to the...

This paper investigates the potential for coordinated control of a large number of residential air conditioning systems to achieve substantial reductions in peak electricity demand. To do so, an extensive data set including home energy audits, homeowner surveys, and electricity meter...

Several changes to the world’s electrical power systems and grids threaten to require massive infrastructure investment and cost to power utilities, especially increasing population and electrical energy demands, especially peak summertime air conditioning demands, and mismatches between...

This study uses an advanced airflow, energy and humidity modelling tool to evaluate the potential for residential mechanical pre-cooling of building thermal mass to shift electricity loads away from the peak electricity demand period. The focus of this study is residential buildings with low...
