Demand response flexibility and flexibility potential of residential smart appliances: Experiences from large pilot test in Belgium KU Leuven
© 2015 Elsevier Ltd. This paper presents a well-founded quantified estimation of the demand response flexibility of residential smart appliances. The flexibility from five types of appliances available within residential premises (washing machines, tumble dryers, dishwashers, domestic hot water buffers and electric vehicles), is quantified based on measurements from the LINEAR pilot, a large-scale research and demonstration project focused on ...
How is personality related to well-being in older and younger adults? The role of psychological flexibility Ghent University Vrije Universiteit Brussel
Objectives: Personality is known to be a reliable predictor of well-being. However, it is rather difficult to influence the personality of individuals in order to improve their well-being. Therefore, it is important to examine possible underlying mechanisms or indirect effects. Consequently, the aim of the current study was to investigate whether psychological flexibility is a mechanism explaining the relationship between personality and ...
An adjusted weight metric to quantify flexibility available in conventional generators for low carbon power systems Ghent University
With the increasing shares of intermittent renewable sources in the grid, it becomes increasingly essential to quantify the requirements of the power systems flexibility. In this article, an adjusted weight flexibility metric (AWFM) is developed to quantify the available flexibility within individual generators as well as within the overall system. The developed metric is useful for power system operators who require a fast, simple, and offline ...
Individual differences in motivational self-focus modulate context-based affective attention flexibility toward goal-relevant information : an eye-tracking study Ghent University
Flexible attention toward relevant positive or negative information depending on specific contextual affective goals underlies resilience and is thought to be modulated by individual dif-ferences in motivational self-focuses. In this study, it was tested how promotion and prevention motivational self-focuses modulate context-based affective attention flexibility toward goal -relevant emotional information. A sample of 102 participants with ...
Emotional flexibility and recovery from pain KU Leuven
© 2018, The Author(s). This study aimed to investigate the relationship between two aspects of emotional flexibility (EF, i.e. flexible emotional responsiveness and affective flexibility) and tolerance for, and recovery from, experimentally-induced pain. Fifty-two adults completed a flexible emotional responsiveness task in which emotional responses on multiple dimensions were registered while watching positive and negative pictures. Affective ...
Work schedule flexibility is associated with emotional exhaustion among registered nurses in Swiss hospitals: A cross-sectional study KU Leuven
BACKGROUND: Emotional exhaustion among healthcare workers is a widely investigated, well-recognized problem, the incidence of which has recently been linked to work environment factors, particularly work/family conflict. However, another environmental feature that may be equally influential, but that is more amenable to nurse manager action, remains less recognized: shift schedule flexibility. OBJECTIVES: This study's main purposes were to ...
Gas market distorting effects of imbalanced gas balancing rules: Inefficient regulation of pipeline flexibility KU Leuven
This paper analyzes the value and cost of line-pack flexibility in liberalized gas markets through examination of the techno-economic characteristics of gas transport pipelines and the trade-offs between different ways to use the infrastructure: transport and flexibility. Line-pack flexibility is becoming increasingly important as a tool to balance gas supply and demand over different periods. In the European liberalized market context, a ...
Representational flexibility in linear-function problems: a choice/no-choice study KU Leuven
This study examined students’ ability to make adaptive or flexible representational choices while solving linear-function problems. Two secondary-school classes solved problems under a choice (C-) condition, where they could choose a table, a graph, or a formula to solve each problem, and three no-choice (NC-) conditions (NC-table, NC-graph and NC-formula), where a predetermined representation had to be used. Data concerning representational ...
