As the Malaysian residential electricity consumption continued to increase rapidly, effective energy policies, which address factors affecting residential electricity consumption, is urgently needed. This study attempts to investigate the relationship between residential electricity consumption (EC), real disposable income (Y), price of electricity (Pe) and population (Po) in Malaysia for 1978-...

We consider the residential energy storage management system with integrated renewable generation, with the availability of bidirectional energy flow from and to the grid thorough buying and selling. We propose a real-time bidirectional energy control algorithm, aiming to minimize the net system cost, due to energy buying and selling and battery deterioration and inefficiency from storage activ...

Close to 40% of the primary energy consumption in the U.S. comes from commercial and residential buildings [1]. Therefore, reducing this energy consumption is very important, both economically, and environmentally (due to the amount of CO2 emitted in the process of generating the electricity). Predicting the energy consumption of buildings (energy modeling) is a key component in reducing the bu...
