  1. 6. Decarbonization of the building sector : A systematic map of the roadmaps, strategies and action plans for Net-zero and Net-positive energy buildings around the world

    University essay from KTH/Hållbar utveckling, miljövetenskap och teknik

    Author : Ajay Kumar Korpal; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Buildings account for 36% of global final energy consumption and almost 40% of total direct and indirect CO2 emissions (IEA, 2019). Net Zero Energy Buildings (NZEB) are an option to reduce both energy consumption and environmental emissions from the building sector. READ MORE

  3. 7. Genetic Algorithm-based Optimization for Battery Scheduling in a Smart Distribution Grid

    University essay from Uppsala universitet/Byggteknik och byggd miljö

    Author : Aquin Magnus; [2020]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : In recent years, with the introduction of renewable energy sources (RES) and digital technologies, grids in Europe have become smarter.This is motivated by the need to effectively use the infrastructure incases of high penetration of RES. Consumer participation is one of the important features of smart grids. READ MORE

  4. 8. Energy Renovation Towards Net-Zero Energy Buildings using Photovoltaic Systems and Batteries in Residential Buildings

    University essay from Lunds universitet/Avdelningen för Energi och byggnadsdesign; Lunds universitet/Institutionen för arkitektur och byggd miljö

    Author : Albin Lithvall; Jovan Panić; [2020]
    Keywords : NZEB; Photovoltaics; Energy storage; Passive house; Energy efficiency; Technology and Engineering;

    Abstract : As the future energy goals of the building industry involve reducing the energy intensity in buildings as well as increasing the share of renewable energy sources, a suitable approach would be energy renovating existing buildings and further utilizing renewable energy production technology to reach Net-Zero Energy Building (NZEB) standard. This study is therefore investigating the economic feasibility of energy renovating buildings built during the Swedish Million program towards NZEB. READ MORE

  5. 9. Predictive Control Strategies for aHeat Pump System with PV and Electrical Storage with Various Boundary Conditions

    University essay from Högskolan Dalarna/Energiteknik

    Author : Fatemeh Johari; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : The idea of nearly zero energy building (nZEB) has been emerged from the global trend toward reduction in fossil fuel consumption and green-house gas emission. In spite of different definitions for nZEB, it is vastly known as a grid connected building with highly reduced energy consumption by means of on-site renewable energy production. READ MORE

  6. 10. Increased use of solar energy in commercial buildings by integrating energy storage.

    University essay from KTH/Mark- och vattenteknik

    Author : Nina Nilsson; [2016]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : From a comparison of available thermal energy storage (TES) technologies it can be concluded that the most mature and suitable storage methods for modern commercial buildings in Sweden are storage tanks, either for heat or cold energy, and underground storage solutions such as borehole thermal energy storage (BTES), aquifer storage and energy piles. In this study an integrated solar energy storage system for heating purpose has been designed with BTES, hot water storage tank(s) and solar thermal collectors. READ MORE
