A Hybrid Multi-Step Rolling Forecasting Model Based on SSA and Simulated Annealing—Adaptive Particle Swarm Optimization for Wind Speed
Pei Du,Yu Jin,Kequan Zhang +2 more
TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors proposed a hybrid algorithm to forecast wind speed series by using singular spectrum analysis, which is faster, has fewer parameters, and is less expensive than traditional single algorithms.

Electrochemical analysis of Na–Ni bimetallic phosphate electrodes for supercapacitor applications
Abdulmajid Abdallah Mirghni,Kabir O. Oyedotun,Okikiola Olaniyan,Badr Ahmed Mahmoud,Ndeye Fatou Sylla,Ncholu I. Manyala +5 more
TL;DR: In this article, a hierarchical structure of NaNi4(PO4)3/GF composite material was successfully synthesized using a direct and simple precipitation method, which demonstrated a synergistic effect between the conductive metallic cations and the graphene foam that made up the composite.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integration of distributed generation technologies on sustainable buildings
TL;DR: The results show the importance of including the nonlinear behavior of the technologies for defining a suitable operational policy as well as the effect of using different criteria about the design of water-energy systems.

A comparison of global bioclimates in the 20th and 21st centuries and building energy consumption implications
TL;DR: In this article, the authors compared the 20th century and the 21st century in the Koppen-Geiger world climate classifications and found that there was a distinct decrease in winter thermal discomfort and increase in summer thermal discomfort under the low and medium forcing emissions scenarios.

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.
