Improving energy efficiency in public transport: stationary supercapacitor based energy storage systems for a metro network Vrije Universiteit Brussel
This article will assess the installation of stationary super capacitor based Energy Storage Systems (ESS) along a metro line for energy savings purposes. The influence of the ESS size and distribution along the line will be studied taking into account different traffic conditions.
The ESSs will be configured with regards to energy content, voltage variation, maximum current and power losses. To carry out the study, an effect-cause or ...

Data centres in future European energy systems - energy efficiency, integration and policy Vrije Universiteit Brussel
End-use efficiency, demand response and coupling of different energy vectors are important aspects of future renewable energy systems. Growth in the number of data centres is leading to an increase in electricity demand and the emergence of a new electricity-intensive industry. Studies on data centres and energy use have so far focused mainly on energy efficiency. This paper contributes with an assessment of the potential for energy system ...
Do energy efficiency improvements reduce energy use? Empirical evidence on the economy-wide rebound effect in Europe and the United States Universiteit Hasselt
Increasing energy efficiency is often considered to be one of the main ways of reducing greenhouse gas emissions. However, efficiency gains that reduce the cost of energy services result in energy use rebounding and potential energy use savings being eaten up. Empirical research that quantifies the economy-wide rebound effect while taking the dynamic economic responses to energy efficiency improvements into account is limited. We use a ...

Demonstrating Model-based Reinforcement Learning for Energy Efficiency and Demand Response Using Hot Water Vessels in Net-Zero Energy Buildings KU Leuven
In this paper, we present a reinforcement learning framework to improve energy efficiency of domestic hot water provision using air source heat pumps (ASHP’s). Simulations carried out using data from 40 houses shows 10 – 15% energy reduction, depending on occupant behavior. In absolute terms, this accounts to an energy reduction of about 150 kWh/a per house. The framework is extended to real world control, with energy savings of 27% demonstrated ...
