In this paper, a reliable and cost-effective polygeneration system for an existing test building, able to provide electricity, cooling and heating needs is presented, modelled and assessed. The system relies on solar energy as the primary source (PV and solar thermal collectors). Building...

Distributed Energy Resources (DER) scheduling in smart grids presents a new challenge to system operators. The increase of new resources, such as storage systems and demand response programs, results in additional computational efforts for optimization problems. On the other hand, since natural...

Air pollution is still a serious environment threat. Despite this fact, citizens’ engagement on air pollution is limited. This work aims to fill the gap between citizens’ behaviour and emissions, air quality and health-related effects assessment, by proposing an innovative approach to link...
