Household energy use data may contain sensitive inferences into family life, yet its potential for surveillance is imperfectly understood. To explore this space, we developed Household Wattch, a speculative eco-feedback ‘provotype’ that profiles ...

This project addresses the rising issue of excessive energy consumption in student accommodations across the UK which has shown a 20% increase from 2022 to 2023. Student accommodations provide a unique context due to the communal proximity of its ...

A significant increase in energy consumption by the building sector has led to a substantial rise in greenhouse gas emissions. This study addresses the importance of integrating a Building Management System (BMS) and BIM to utilise heating, ventilation, ...

Energy is one of the most important topics in the modern world, as it affects various aspects of human life and the environment. The current transition era and the growing demand for energy require innovative solutions to optimize energy use and reduce ...

The study's goal was to investigate the capital structuring tactics used by the corporations INDOWIND and KARMAENG. Finding a model to forecast their authorised, issued, and paid-up capital over time is another goal. An analytical research design was used ...

Electricity supply companies need to know the expected load consumption to perform better scheduling and planning. Prediction of electric-load usage thus becomes a time-series forecasting problem. Traditionally used statistical, knowledge-based and hybrid ...

Here we provide an overview of an important issue in online field experiments: spillover effects. We include a reading list for researchers in both academia and industry who are interested in this topic.

Credit appraisal tools has long taken interest of banking and financial industry, since it is their main business to disbursing loan, make profit from loan interest and keeping non-performing loan minimum. Since then, many researchers try to propose ...

During the fixed-point detection of power safety construction, the on-site environment is complex and diverse, and there is a problem that the relationship between the sensor output data and the final position label is not fitted, resulting in a large ...

This poster compares energy use of the campus of the University of Texas at Austin during the COVID-19 pandemic of 2020 to that of previous years. Our results show change in weekly aggregate chilled water and electricity consumption as a result of ...

The use of photovoltaic (PV) system simulation software is very important to know the amount of electrical energy produced by the photoelectric system. In this paper we use the Pvsyst software for sizing and simulation of a stand-alone solar ...

Power blackouts (outages) are a common occurrence in Kenyan households. They affect people's livelihoods, and damage their property (household electrical items). We explore the role of GridAlert-a sensor-based technology we designed-in monitoring power ...

Essential resources, like electricity and water, can experience rapidly changing demand or supply while the other side of the market is unchanged. Short-run price variation could efficiently allocate resources at these critical times but only if consumers ...

Large amounts of electricity, water, and food are used every day in Industrial Kitchens (IK). Still, very little attention has been devoted by the research community to this potential source of resource over-consumption. This abstract paper builds on ...

Transmission grid congestion is one of the obstacles of renewable energy integration. It is therefore important to understand the causes and consequences of congestion. This paper describes three published data sets that contain pivotal information ...

Electricity consumption prediction in smart homes and its effective management are global concerns. One of the most important inventions to assist human living, electricity is used by residential users as well as commercial operations. These users ...

This research studies the factors influencing the efficiency of solar power plants to form a control system for increasing their performance. The case study is conducted in Lampang province, Thailand. The investigated factors include irradiance, ...

We argue that deterministic market clearing formulations introduce arbitrary distortions between day-ahead and expected real-time prices that bias economic incentives. We extend and analyze a previously proposed stochastic clearing formulation in which ...

Educational simulations and serious games hold great potential for creating engaging and productive learning environments in STEM domains. In this paper we present and reflect on some of our research findings in a series of studies with a computer ...

In 2013, Transpower New Zealand commissioned a new high-voltage, direct current link to transfer electrical power between the North and South Islands of New Zealand. This was a substantial and prolonged undertaking, requiring approximately 400 in-situ ...
