Facing severe air pollution and growing dependence on natural gas imports, the Chinese government plans to increase coal-based synthetic natural gas (SNG) production. Although displacement of coal with SNG benefits air quality, it increases CO2 emissions. Due to variations in air pollutant and CO2 emission factors and energy efficiencies across sectors, coal replacement with SNG results in vary...

Telework ~or telecommuting! has been proposed as a way of reducing transportation externalities such as congestion and passenger vehicle energy use. While there is contention among sources about the secondary induced transportation effects, many studies have estimated net benefits as a result of transportation reductions. Analyses including effects from shifts in commercial and residential buil...

The energy sector of Pakistan has undergone several changes over the previous years, due to ever-increasing consumption. objective this study is determine extent which consumption sources can be attributed Pakistan’s institutional quality, based on perception positive impact quality facilitation public goods. In context, demand functions (electricity, natural gas and petroleum products) for fou...

Non intrusive load monitoring (NILM), or energy disaggregation, is the process of separating the total electricity consumption of a building as measured at single point into the building’s constituent loads. Previous research in the field has mostly focused on residential buildings, and although the potential benefits of applying this technology to commercial buildings have been recognised sinc...

This paper quantifies the long-term impact of wind energy development on electricity prices across residential, commercial, and industrial sectors in United States. Our data set is made up state level panel from 2000 through 2018. time period covers vast majority total capacity installed history USA. econometric model accounts for primary factors that influence prices, incorporating both fixed ...

During extremely hot summer days, air conditioning systems are known as major electricity consumers in residential, commercial and industrial sectors. Moreover, high energy requirement of multiple-chiller plants may cause an interconnected power grid be faced with annual on-peak electrical demand, load-generation mismatch, voltage collapse and catastrophic wide area blackout. Therefore, this pa...

Smart grids have become a topic of intensive research, development, and deployment across the world over the last few years. The engagement of consumer sectors—residential, commercial, and industrial—is widely acknowledged as a key requirement for the projected benefits of smart grids to be realized. Although the industrial sector has traditionally been involved in managing power use with what ...

Residential and commercial buildings constitute one of the largest energy consumption sectors in industrialized countries. This paper introduces a flexible commissioning system for maximizing energy usage efficiency in large and complex buildings. The system exploits (i) a data management scheme that uses distributed wireless sensors networks for environmental monitoring, (ii) a data analysis f...

The advent of power quality sensitive equipment has made the provision of good power quality a real challenge across the globe. With the increasing usage of sophisticated sensitive electronic equipment in industrial, residential and commercial sectors, it is important to protect them from any power quality disturbance in order to avoid equipment damage and malfunction leading to financial loss ...
