Most recent research on flywheel rotors has focused on high-speed composite rotors as the storage element of the flywheel energy storage system (FESS). Literature research indicates that this is primarily due to the high specific energy of composites compared to metals. However, a quantitative...

The ever increasing penetration of renewable energy systems (RESs) in today deregulated intelligent power grids, necessitates the use of electrical storage systems. Energy storage systems (ESSs) are helpful to make balance between generation and demand improving the performance of whole power...

In Internet of things and its relevant technologies the routing of data plays one of the major roles. In this paper, a routing algorithm is presented for the networks consisting of smart objects, so that the Internet of Things and its enabling technologies can provide high reliability while the...

Rationale The surge in energy and other commodity prices in 2021 H2 and a significant part of 2022 has led to firms’ costs increasing considerably. This article analyses how this rise in costs has been passed through to selling prices and what impact it has had on firms’ output, wages,...

Basic income benefits cover recipients' actual heating expenses as long as they are not unusually high. In contrast, their electricity expenses are only covered via a lump sum at the standard rate. Thus, basic income recipients have weaker incentives for reducing their heating expenses than for...

Im Rahmen der Grundsicherung werden die tatsächlich anfallenden Heizungsrechnungen übernommen, sofern diese nicht unangemessen hoch sind. Dagegen werden Ausgaben für Strom lediglich pauschal im Regelsatz berücksichtigt. Somit haben Grundsicherungsbeziehende weniger Anreize, ihre Ausgaben...

Gerade im Immobilienbereich besteht ein grosses Potential, Einfluss auf die Zukunft zu nehmen und sie zu einer besseren zu machen. Dies vor allem in Bezug auf die Umweltproblematik, die Substitution fossiler Energien sowie die Energiekosten. Immobilienfachleute und Immobilienbesitzer sollen...

Problems dealing with the design and the operations of gas transmission networks arechallenging. The difficulty mainly arises from the simultaneous modeling of gastransmission laws and of the investment costs. The combination of the two yields a nonlinearnon-convex optimization problem. To...
