A coordinated control to improve energy performance for a building cluster with energy storage, EVs, and energy sharing
Huang, Pei; Zhang, Xingxing; Bales, Chris; Persson, Tomas (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2020)Existing studies have developed some advanced controls for energy storage system charging/discharging in a building cluster (enabling PV power sharing among different buildings), which can effectively improve the aggregated ... -
A top-down digital mapping of spatial energy use for municipality-owned buildings: a case study in Borlänge, Sweden
Quintana, Samer; Huang, Pei; Han, Mengjie; Zhang, Xingxing (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2020)Urban energy mapping plays a crucial role in benchmarking the energy performance of buildings for many stakeholders. This paper studies a set of buildings in the city of Borlänge, Sweden, owned by the municipality. The aim ... -
Adapting to future climate change by integration of Phase Change Materials (PCMs) into the building envelope: a case study in Stockholm, Sweden
Copertaro, Benedetta; Shen, Jingchun; Sangelantoni, Lorenzo; Huang, Pei; Zhang, Xingxing (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)This paper presents a numerical investigation on the effectiveness of phase change materials (PCMs) wall implementation as building refurbishment solution, under both historical and future climate conditions. Specifically, ... -
IEA EBC Annex83 Positive Energy Districts
Hedman, Åsa; Rehman, Hassam Ur; Gabaldón, Andrea; Bisello, Adriano; Albert-Seifried, Vicky; Zhang, Xingxing; Guarino, Francesco; Grynning, Steinar; Eicker, Ursula; Neumann, Hans-Martin; Tuominen, Pekka; Reda, Francesco (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)At a global level, the need for energy efficiency and an increased share of renewable energy sources is evident, as is the crucial role of cities due to the rapid urbanization rate. As a consequence of this, the research ... -
Insight on a local energy community: Agent based model of a peer to peer (P2P) interaction for a group of prosumers
Lovati, Marco; Olsmats, Carl; Zhang, Xingxing (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2020)Energy communities are becoming a promising opportunity for distributed energy systems in positive energy districts (PED), in which the electric energy is bought and sold in a neighborhood through a shared local infrastructure. ... -
Simulation and parametric study of a building integrated transpired solar collector heat pump system for a multifamily building cluster in Sweden
Saini, Puneet; Fiedler, Frank; Psimopoulos, Emmanouil; Copertaro, Benedetta; Widén, Joakim; Zhang, Xingxing (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed, 2020)Solar integrated building envelopes represent a significant energy harvesting potential in an era of decentralized building energy systems. This paper aims to simulate an energy system that consists of a transpired air ...
