The electrical mobility is no universal remedy, but possibly the best alternative to gasoline and diesel. The power requirement of the traffic sector grows with an incredible speed, in particular stronger than in all other sectors of the final consumption and therefore the carbon dioxide emissions rises too. To achieve a reduction in green house gases, the search for alternative drive concepts ...

With the largest installed capacity of wind power and solar PV in world, China is experiencing an approximately 10% curtailment major northern provinces. The combined heat (CHP) units account for over 50% local thermal generation capacity, hardly making contributions to ancillary services due complex coupling constraints, thus are barriers renewable energy integration. This paper explores oppor...

With the transition towards renewable energy underway, demand-side management together with local generation of is receiving growing attention. Optimizing self-consumption locally produced can not only have financial benefits for respective household or business (and improve their autarky from increasingly unstable markets), but also help grid stability against volatility some sources energy. I...

Thermal energy storage technologies significantly increase the benefits of decentralized renewable production on residential scale. While many studies investigate singular applications thermal storages or provide a broad overview about current state research in this field, there is no comprehensive assessment market-ready solutions. This paper combines system performance analysis for combinatio...

Recently DRAM and PRAM hybrid main memory organization has been studied in order to address the high levels of energy dissipation in DRAM based main memory. It is expected that this new memory architecture will be used soon in mobile computers which use NAND Flash memory based storages. In such computers, legacy operating system functionalities like file system and memory system should be modif...
