The Hybrid-Agile Design of Experiments Methodology
(Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)A DOE (Design of Experiments) is the laying out of a detailed experimental plan in advance of doing the experiment. Optimal DOEs maximize the amount of information that can be obtained for a given amount of experimental ... -
The impact of resolution on load matching in a Norwegian context
(Conference object; Others, 2017)Introduction Generation of energy at building level receives increasing interest in Norway, as in the rest of Europe. Load matching is the correlation between the building's generation and load, which in most cases aims ... -
The impact of Zero Energy Buildings on the Scandinavian energy system
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2017)This paper investigates how an extensive implementation of net Zero Energy Buildings (ZEBs) affects cost-optimal investments in the Scandinavian energy system towards 2050. Analyses are done by a stochastic TIMES model ... -
The Influence of Production Parameters on Pozzolanic Reactivity of Calcined Clays
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)Calcined clays are gaining increasing interest as future supplementary cementitious materials for the production of blended cements. Besides the mineralogy, the right production conditions can affect the pozzolanic activity ... -
The Influence of Snow and Ice Coverage on the Energy Generation from Photovoltaic Solar Cells
(Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2018)This literature study examines previous studies of the optical properties of snow, and attempts to tie them together with studies on the effects of shading on photovoltaic solar panels. The study presents some information ... -
