   Abstract : Sweden and Europe aim to be carbon neutral by 2045 and 2050 respectively. Upgrading the existing building stock has been identified as having great potential in assisting to realise these goals. READ MORE

3. 17. PV self-consumption: Regression models and data visualization

   University essay from KTH/Skolan för industriell teknik och management (ITM)

   Author : Martos Tóth; [2022]
   Keywords : Self-Consumption; photovoltaics; battery; machine learning; solar energy; random forest; k-nearest neighbor; multi-layer perceptron; lasso regression; ridge regression; linear regression; Egenanvändning; photovoltaics; batteri; maskininlärning; solenergi; random forest; k-nearest neighbors; multi-layer perceptron; lasso regression; ridge regression; linjär regression;

   Abstract : In Sweden the installed capacity of the residential PV systems is increasing every year. The lack of feed-in-tariff-scheme makes the techno-economic optimization of the PV systems mainly based on the self-consumption. The calculation of this parameter involves hourly building loads and hourly PV generation. READ MORE

   Author : Andrés Alonso San Segundo; [2022]
   Keywords : ;

   Abstract : With the increasing cost of land, the development of ultra-high performance concrete, and the technological advancements in equipment and machinery, we are able to construct and refurbish skyscrapers like never before. How they are built, what materials they use, or what structural system defines them, all affect their dynamic response, which in the end is the combination of the stiffness and mass, two key parameters in engineering of tall buildings.
