Assessment of the renewable energy generation towards net-zero energy buildings: A review

Greenhouse gas emission reduction in residential buildings: A lightweight model to be deployed on edge devices

“…and the targeted objectives (e.g., reducing energy bills and/or GHGE and/or extending device lifetimes, etc. ), the Energy Management System (EMS) integrates different logics [6,4], as reviewed and discussed in the next section.…”

“…Globally, the residential sector accounts for a substantial part of the consumed energy and greenhouse gas emission (GHGE) [1,2]. Reducing GHGE can be achieved by better insulating houses and buildings, switching from polluting (albeit cheap) coal to natural gas or renewable energy sources [3], and developing intelligent applications to efficiently integrate such renewables resources with flexible storage systems [4]. Indeed, it is not only a matter of installing renewable energy technologies (e.g., PV array, wind or biomass), but also of optimizing the charging/discharging of the storage units (e.g., battery, thermal storage, electric vehicles, etc.)…”

Smart Elevator Systems

“…At any rate, according to the United Nations, 70% of the world's 9.7 billion people will live in cities by 2050, up from 51% in 2010 [1,2] . To accommodate our expanding population, buildings are multiplying and rising higher.…”

“…Thus, we need to start considering the most effective strategies to reduce consumption and the urban energy footprint. Buildings use 40% of the energy in the world; and therefore, they should be given priority in cities' efforts to minimize their carbon footprints as the fight against climate change gains steam [2,3] .…”

Security Constrained Dispatch for Renewable Proliferated Distribution Network Based on Safe Reinforcement Learning

“…Moreover, RES will take the dominant share in global electricity generation, increasing from 29% in 2020 to over 60% in 2030 and to nearly 90% in 2050 (IEA, 2021). As in a distribution network, a massive influx of distributed RES would help approach NET ZERO (Ahmed et al, 2022). However, the output of renewable energy has the inherent characteristics of uncertainty and variability, introducing lots of difficulties to distribution network dispatches, such as real-time power generation and consumption imbalance, voltage fluctuation, frequency oscillation, and transmission congestion (Bistline, 2021;Abd El-Kareem et al, 2021;Husin and Zaki, 2021).…”
