Enabling Optimal Energy Management with Minimal IoT Requirements
A Legacy A/C Case Study
The existing literature on energy saving focuses on large-scale buildings, wherein the energy-saving potential is substantially larger than smaller-scale buildings. However, the research intensity is significantly less for small-scale deployments and their capacities to regulate

Automating occupant-building interaction via smart zoning of thermostatic loads
A switched self-tuning approach
Load management actions in large buildings are pre-programmed by field engineers/users in the form of if-then-else rules for the set point of the thermostat. This fixed set of actions prevents smart zoning, i.e. to dynamically regulate the set points in every room at different le

Managing grid-connected charging stations for fleets of electric vehicles leads to an optimal control problem where user preferences must be met with minimum energy costs (e.g., by exploiting lower electricity prices through the day, renewable energy production, and stored energy

This paper proposes a Cognitive Stochastic Approximation (CSA)-based optimization method for charging an EV (electric vehicle) fleet, using a single, aggregate battery model. The charging station can either utilize the batteries of the parked vehicles to charge the vehicles befor

Microgrids equipped with small-scale renewable-energy generation systems and energy storage units offer challenging opportunity from a control point of view. In fact, in order to improve resilience and enable islanded mode, micro-grid energy management systems must dynamically ma
