Challenges for the transition to low-temperature heat in the UK: A Review (2021)
Journal Article
Reguis, A., Vand, B., & Currie, J. (2021). Challenges for the transition to low-temperature heat in the UK: A Review. Energies, 14(21), Article 7181. https://doi.org/10.3390/en14217181

To reach net-zero emissions by 2050, buildings in the UK need to replace natural gas boilers with heat pumps and district heating. These technologies are efficient at reduced flow/return temperatures, typically 55/25 °C, while traditional heating sys...

Dispatch Strategies for the Utilisation of Battery Storage Systems in Smart Grid Optimised Buildings (2021)
Journal Article
Georgakarakos, A. D., Vand, B., Hathway, E. A., & Mayfield, M. (2021). Dispatch Strategies for the Utilisation of Battery Storage Systems in Smart Grid Optimised Buildings. Buildings, 11(10), Article 433. https://doi.org/10.3390/buildings11100433

This study investigates Smart Grid Optimised Buildings (SGOBs) which can respond to real-time electricity prices by utilising battery storage systems (BSS). Different building design characteristics are assessed to evaluate the impact on energy use,...

Optimal management of energy sharing in a community of buildings using a model predictive control (2021)
Journal Article
Vand, B., Ruusu, R., Hasan, A., & Manrique Delgado, B. (2021). Optimal management of energy sharing in a community of buildings using a model predictive control. Energy Conversion and Management, 239, Article 114178. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enconman.202

Exporting generated electricity by on-site renewable energy systems from buildings to the grid is only slightly profitable in many countries. Therefore, it is required to investigate the benefits of sharing generated energy in a microgrid within a co...
