Weather-informed optimal scheduling of electric vehicle charging under extreme conditions: A case study from the Scottish islands Open
Extreme weather can trigger rapid wind cut-outs and price spikes in islanded, wind-dominated distribution networks, calling for weather-aware management of flexible demand. This study presents an integrated framework that couples a data-dr…

Accommodating new calculation approaches in next-generation energy performance assessments Open
Building energy policy, such as the Energy Performance of Buildings Directive (EPBD), has a direct effect on use of building models and related parameters. Modelling annual energy consumption of a building is a different task to characteri…

HAPiGYM Open
The HAPiGYM is a collection of numerical and experimental modelling environments for testing control of wave energy converters (WECs). It has two applications: rapid prototyping of the control policies themselves, and co-design of control …

Identifying the case for next generation energy performance certificates Open
The 2003 Energy Performance in Buildings Directive (EPBD) resulted in EU member states formulating standardised responses to grading and assessing the energy performance of their building stock. The 2018 update of the EPBD raised the possi…

Changing the approach to energy compliance in residential buildings – re-imagining EPCs Open
As our need for energy information of buildings evolves, and the tools and methods at our disposal increase in scale and complexity, it is perhaps reasonable to expect a similar level of change in the way energy in buildings is assessed wi…

A hybrid system of data-driven approaches for simulating residential energy demand profiles Open
This paper presents a novel system of data-driven approaches for simulating the dynamics of electricity demand profiles. Demand profiles of individual dwellings are decomposed into deterministic (e.g. 'Trends' and 'Seasonal') and stochasti…

Comparing Community Energy Assessment Approaches for UK and India Open
Our energy systems are complex structures encompassing the supply, transmission, distribution and demand of energy. Understanding the role of the built environment within this energy system is crucial for understanding energy demand, and r…

Time-series Decomposition Approach For Simulating Electricity Demand Profile Open
Electricity demand profiles of dwellings are mainly composed of various known (deterministic) and unknown (stochastic) processes. Effective data processing approaches (such as time series decomposition) are mainly used to simplify underlyi…

Modelling community electricity demand for UK and India Open
The energy assessment of single buildings and of larger areas of built environment, although exhibiting similarities in terms of technique, have in the past often used different approaches to energy modelling. The growing availability of e…
