Consequences of Local Energy Supply in Norway: A case study on the ZEN pilot project Campus Evenstad
Backe, Stian; Sørensen, Åse Lekang; Pinel, Dimitri; Clauß, John; Lausselet, Carine; Woods, Ruth (ZEN Report;, Research report, 2019) -
Control strategies for building energy systems to unlock demand side flexibility – A review
Clauß, John; Finck, Christian; Vogler-Finck, Pierre; Beagon, Paul (Chapter, 2017)Conventional key performance indicators (KPI) assessed in building simulation lack specific measures of how the building interacts with the grid and its energy flexibility. This paper aims to provide an overview of specific ... -
Demonstrating the load-shifting potential of a schedule-based control in a real-life educational building
Clauß, John; Brozovsky, Johannes Georg; Georges, Laurent Francis Ghislain (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2024)This work investigates the potential of simplified control approaches to deploy the building energy flexibility (BEF), here for the shifting of the space-heating load in a real-life educational building. The educational ... -
Energy Flexibility Characterization of Norwegian Residential Buildings Heated by Direct Electricity
Taksdal, Katrine; Johnsen, Thea (Master thesis, 2018)The objective of this thesis is to evaluate the energy flexibility that Norwegian residential buildings can provide to the electricity grid, by applying rule-based control (RBC) strategies. Aspects that are assumed to ... -
Energy flexibility of Norwegian residential buildings using demand response of electricity-based heating systems: A study on residential demand side flexibility, heating system control, and time-varying CO2eq. intensities of the electricity mix
Clauß, John (Doctoral theses at NTNU;2019:225, Doctoral thesis, 2019)The transition to a sustainable energy system requires a shift to intermittent renewable energy sources, which call for increased flexibility on the demand side. Heat pumps offer the possibility to couple the electricity ... -
Evaluation Method for the Hourly Average CO2eq. Intensity of the Electricity Mix and Its Application to the Demand Response of Residential Heating
Clauß, John; Stinner, Sebastian; Solli, Christian; Lindberg, Karen Byskov; Madsen, Henrik; Georges, Laurent (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)This work introduces a generic methodology to determine the hourly average CO2eq. intensity of the electricity mix of a bidding zone. The proposed method is based on the logic of input–output models and avails the balance ... -
Influence of space heating distribution systems on the energy flexibility of Norwegian residential buildings
Nickl, Christoph; Clauß, John; Georges, Laurent (Chapter, 2020)This work evaluates the influence of the heating distribution system on the energy flexibility of highly insulated single-family residential buildings. The behavior of three different systems (air heating, radiator heating, ... -
Influence of the space-heating distribution system on the energy flexibility of Norwegian residential buildings
Nickl, Christoph Heinz (Master thesis, 2018)Demand side flexibility gained more and more research interest over the last years, as the generation of renewable power grows and challenges economical operation of power plants as well as grid stability. Several studies ... -
Influence of thermal zoning and electric radiator control on the energy flexibility potential of Norwegian detached houses
Johnsen, Thea; Taksdal, Katrine; Clauß, John; Yu, Xingji; Georges, Laurent (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Energy flexibility of buildings can be used to reduce energy use and costs, peak power, CO2eq- emissions or to increase self-consumption of on-site electricity generation. Thermal mass activation proved to have a large ... -
Inverse Model Identification of the Thermal Dynamics of a Norwegian Zero Emission House
Vogler-Finck, Pierre; Clauß, John; Georges, Laurent; Sartori, Igor; Wisniewski, Rafael (Chapter, 2019)Dynamical model identification is an essential element in the implementation of a model predictive controller. In this work, a control-oriented first order model was identified in a dedicated experiment on a super-insulated ... -
Model complexity of heat pump systems to investigate the building energy flexibility and guidelines for model implementation
Clauß, John; Georges, Laurent (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Building performance simulation (BPS) is a powerful tool for engineers working in building design and heating, ventilation and air-conditioning. Many case studies using BPS investigate the potential of demand response (DR) ... -
Opportunities for Local Energy Supply in Norway: A Case Study of a University Campus Site
Backe, Stian; Sørensen, Åse Lekang; Pinel, Dimitri; Clauß, John; Lausselet, Carine (Journal article; Peer reviewed, 2019)Neighbourhoods can contribute to climate change mitigation by supplying and/or facilitating renewable energy sources (RES). In this context, we evaluate opportunities related to the energy system of a Norwegian university ... -
Predictive rule-based control to activate the energy flexibility of Norwegian residential buildings: Case of an air-source heat pump and direct electric heating
Clauß, John; Stinner, Sebastian; Sartori, Igor; Georges, Laurent (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2019)The building energy flexibility potential of a Norwegian single-family detached house is investigated using predictive rule-based control (PRBC) and building performance simulation (using IDA ICE). Norwegian timber buildings ...
