• A Building Automation and Control micro-service architecture using Physics Inspired Neural Networks 

      Maree, Johannes Philippus; Bagle, Marius (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In this work, we present a micro-service architecture which defines a Digital Twin (DT) framework for adaptive building automation and control. The DT framework primarily involves the orchestration of several containerized ...
    • Cost optimal investment in energy efficiency measures and energy supply system in a neighbourhood in Norway 

      Walnum, Harald Taxt; Bagle, Marius; Sørensen, Åse Lekang; Fufa, Selamawit Mamo (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Building renovation is a key measure to reduce energy consumption and Greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, and ease the transition to a fully renewable energy system. This paper applies the IEA EBC Annex 75 methodology for ...
    • Demand-side management for reducing peak-heating costs in a local low-temperature district-heating grid with waste-heat utilization 

      Knudsen, Brage Rugstad; Rohde, Daniel; Walnum, Harald Taxt; Bagle, Marius (Lecture, 2020)
      Low-temperature district heating (LTDH) grids extend the options for using local low-grade waste-heat sources. Such sources may exhibit a high variability in available heat and temperature level. This is the case for a ...
    • Development and testing of load flexibility KPIs in the ZEN definition 

      Sartori, Igor; Lien, Synne Krekling; Bagle, Marius; Walnum, Harald Taxt; Manrique Delgado, Benjamin (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      This paper discusses the flexibility KPIs proposed in the context of the Zero Emission Neighborhood (ZEN) definition for characterizing how a building or neighborhood exchanges energy with the surrounding energy system and ...
    • Flexbuild Annual Report 2. Technical report with results analysis 

      Sartori, Igor; Lindberg, Karen Byskov; Bagle, Marius; Sandberg, Nina Holck; Lien, Synne Krekling; Haugen, Mari; Seljom, Pernille Merethe Sire; Rosenberg, Eva; Kvalbein, Lisa; Pedrero Alonso, Raquel; Ahang, Mohammadreza; Del Granado, Pedro Crespo; Tomasgard, Asgeir; Palmer, Jaume; Kloppenborg, Jan; Madsen, Henrik (SINTEF Fag;87, Research report, 2022)
      Dette er den andre årsrapporten fra Flexbuild-prosjektet og oppsummerer hovedfunnene fra forskningsarbeidet som ble gjort i prosjektets andre år. Potensial for småskala fjernvarme og storskala fjernvarme (kapittel 2) For ...
    • Identifying grey-box models of Norwegian apartment block archetypes 

      Bagle, Marius; Walnum, Harald Taxt; Sartori, Igor (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2020)
      Identification of grey-box models to describe the heat dynamics of buildings is treated extensively in literature, However, to identify these models, data from controlled heating experiments is needed, which is not feasible ...
    • Integrating Thermal-Electric Flexibility in Smart Buildings using Grey-Box modelling in a MILP tool 

      Bagle, Marius; Manrique Delgado, Benjamin; Sartori, Igor; Walnum, Harald Taxt; Lindberg, Karen Byskov (BuildSim Nordic 2022, Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2022)
      In a smart grid setting, building managers are encouraged to adapt their energy operations to real-time market and weather conditions. However, most literature assume stationary temperature set points for heating and ...
    • Model predictive control of District Heating substations for flexible heating of buildings 

      Walnum, Harald Taxt; Sartori, Igor; Bagle, Marius (SINTEF Proceedings;5, Chapter; Peer reviewed; Conference object, 2020)
      The potential in cost and energy savings by replacing a feed forward weather compensated control (WCC) controlled radiator system with a linear MPC controller is investigated in a Modelica-Python setup. It is shown that ...
