Optimal design of building envelopes/HVAC systems and free cooling strategies are today necessary to reduce energy, economic environmental impact telecommunication, electricity distribution, or electric transportations infrastructures. To this aim, designers operators require advanced techniques tools. Target paper is present the development a simulation model for assessing optimizing performance new/existing infrastructures be designed/refurbished from energy point view. The implemented in computer tool assess related potential benefits different saving technologies/strategies optimize objective functions. By presented approach new operating criteria developed by varying all occurring boundary conditions (weather, temperature limitations, tariffs, etc.). show capability suitability proposed approach, case study concerning equipment railway substation developed. analysis conducted Italian climates, obtaining remarkable savings. Specifically, operation thermal insulation consumption can decreased up 80% 10%, respectively. an refurbishment substations annual cost reduction due conditioning about 0.5 M€ achieved, 47% lower.

In this study, thermal comfort was studied during actual driving of vehicles in winter with measurement skin temperature, heart rate variability (HRV), and electroencephalogram (EEG), the conducting subjective questionnaires to examine driver. HVAC heating, seat heating mode, mode were used investigate changes biosignals evaluations time. As a result, after 30 min pulse wave measurement, LF/HF showed an increase 9.2% 8.4% seat, respectively, compared confirming that concentration improved. Besides, attention 119% 2.19% respectively. because system is not operated, improvement car's interior temperature delayed while driving, which greatly affects TSV. However, case TCV or CLV, it highest highest. addition, driver's physiological occurred sooner than environmental changes, psychological response quicker their responses.

The transition towards a more decarbonised, resilient and distributed energy system requires local initiatives, such as Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES), which lead communities to gain self-sufficiency become electricity islands. Although many SLES projects have been recently deployed, only few of them managed be successful, mostly due an initial knowledge gap in the planning deployment phases. This paper leverages from UK's largest demonstrator Orkney Islands, named Responsive FLEXibility (ReFLEX) project, propose framework that will help successfully implement SLES. First, this describes how multi-services electrical implemented reduces impact on infrastructure. We identify discuss main enablers barriers successful SLES, based review UK. Second, future we extend Grid Architecture Model (SGAM) into comprehensive multi-vector (SLEAM) includes all services, namely power, heat transport. extended architecture model components interaction layers need addressed Next, inform extensive list key performance indicators for is proposed ReFLEX project. Finally, lessons learnt project required technologies enable communities, policy makers regulatory bodies best prepare transition.

The increasing complexity of urban distributed energy systems demands effective strategies to tackle design and operational challenges. This study presents a framework for evaluating flexibility in building clusters, aiming minimize costs across various domains. By analysing thermostat adjustments load adaptations, the assesses economic non-economic costs, namely expenses variation occupant thermal comfort. A simulation platform has been developed carry out multi-domain analyses, enhance utilization renewable manage grid power demand. model integrates detailed models with district co-simulation mode, augmenting capabilities current capturing aspects design, such as occupants' response events. sources storage aggregated different typologies forming communities. Proof-of-concept simulations are conducted, showcasing multi-faceted implementing communities, including photovoltaic, battery storage, cluster composed residential, office, service buildings. Sensitivity analysis evaluates impact on consumption results help understand quantify measures encouraging engagement citizens communities' programs inform operation strategies. It is demonstrated that case study, use BESS demand management raises by up 25 %, while adaptations lead an 8 % increase consumption. maximum comfort sensation achieved adapting setpoint at lower aggregate thresholds. Compared previous models, this provides more comprehensive evaluation quantifying specific effects through dynamic simulation.
