Design optimization and optimal control of grid-connected and standalone nearly/net zero energy buildings
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a comprehensive review on the issues related to the design and control of these buildings, i.e. the effects of climate/site on design, design optimization methods, uncertainty and sensitivity analysis for robust design and system reliability, efficient and optimal control of high efficient generation systems and energy storage systems for alleviating/shifting the peak load, model predictive control for fast responses to smart grid, and adoption of advanced smart technologies.

A review of solar energy based heat and power generation systems
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors present a thorough review of the open literature on solar energy based heat and power plants in Denmark, which includes solar photovoltaic and solar thermal based plants with both concentrating and non-concentrating collectors in both solar only and solar-hybrid configurations.
Journal ArticleDOI
Building's electricity consumption prediction using optimized artificial neural networks and principal component analysis
TL;DR: In this paper, an improved Particle Swarm Optimization algorithm (iPSO) is applied to adjust ANN structure's weights and threshold values, and principal component analysis (PCA) is used to select significant modeling inputs and simplify the model structure.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference - eScholarship
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the semantics of thermal comfort in terms of thermal sensation, acceptability, and preference, as a function of both indoor and outdoor temperature, as predicted by the adaptive hypothesis.

Developing an adaptive model of thermal comfort and preference
Richard de Dear,Gail Brager +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the adaptive hypothesis predicts that contextual factors and past thermal history modify building occupants' thermal expectations and preferences, which is contrary to static assumptions underlying the current ASHRAE comfort standard 55-92.
Journal ArticleDOI
Current methods and advances in forecasting of wind power generation
TL;DR: A review of the current methods and advances in wind power forecasting and prediction can be found in this article, where numerical wind power prediction methods from global to local scales, ensemble forecasting, upscaling and downscaling processes are discussed.
