Solid State Transformers: A Critical Review of Projects with Relevant Prototypes and Demonstrators

Electronics, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 12(4), P. 931 - 931

Published: Feb. 13, 2023

The ongoing energy transition has changed the architecture of electricity networks in ways that conventional power transformers are not able to cope with new required functionalities. For this purpose, solid state transformer (SST), which comprises art electronics galvanic isolation interconnect two separate alternating current (AC) or direct (DC) grids, is considered be dominant solution. purpose paper provide a practical, application-oriented review SST. In context, main functionalities and possible applications SST presented, including smart grids (SGs), data centres, railways, offshore wind farms, etc. Furthermore, developed prototypes analysed special focus on related projects, demonstrators, stakeholders rated values, e.g., voltage, switching frequency power. analysis concluded future trends challenges regarding wider implementation technology electrical grid.

Challenges and opportunities in European smart buildings energy management: A critical review

Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews, Journal Year: 2024, Volume and Issue: 199, P. 114472 - 114472

Published: May 15, 2024

The substantial stock of European buildings, accounting for more than 40% energy consumption, has prompted member states to establish a renovation standard with stringent performance criteria. As advancing into the era digital transformation, concept smart buildings emerges as solution create sustainable, efficient, resilient, active, and comfortable living working spaces. This is achieved through intelligent resource use optimization, including management production, storage distribution systems. Smart operate by harnessing monitoring data leveraging artificial intelligence algorithms big techniques. integration contextual information, such building information modelling, physics, or simulation models, enhances resources. Moreover, incorporation metrics like readiness indicator promotes adoption buildings. study delves significance these techniques, expanding on existing research in field It integrates concepts enrichment, smartness, user-centric approaches. Key findings provide insights future opportunities within sector, emphasizing need user awareness strategies, development new algorithms, services that incorporate indicator. also advocates widespread twins.

Evaluation of the Smart Readiness Indicator for Educational Buildings

Buildings, Journal Year: 2023, Volume and Issue: 13(4), P. 888 - 888

Published: March 28, 2023

The Smart Readiness Indicator (SRI) is an assessment scheme for the intelligence of buildings, which was introduced by European Commission in directive Energy Performance Buildings 2018. Since its introduction, many activities related to maturation and employment SRI have been initiated. One adaptation needs SRI, revealed through public consultation with relevant stakeholders, requirement a tailored different types buildings. aim this study analyze possible scenarios optimize smartness performance, as addressed score, educational subject concerned campus buildings Kaunas University Technology, Lithuania. For definition calculation sheet developed used. effect improvements performance on their energy efficiency examined use whole-building, BIM-based tool (IDA-ICE). findings that despite improvement automation control levels building heating system, maximum values achieved deviate significantly high-smartness level.
