Abstract An electricity market is a trading platform provided by the actors in the electricity sector to sell and buy electricity while maintaining the stability of the transmission network and minimizing energy losses. The management of electrical energy for rational use consists of all the operations that the consumers can carry out in order to minimize their electricity bill, while the producers optimize their benefits and the transmission infrastructure. The reduction of active and reactive power consumption and the smoothing of daily and yearly load profiles are the main objectives in this work. Many developed countries already have properly functioning electricity… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract The utilization of energy in building sectors comprises 30–40% of the entire global energy consumption. Most of the energy is being utilized for cooling & heating the buildings. These cooling and heating depend on the nature of climate for different places. In this, the detailed analysis of the building envelope across five areas (viz. Srinagar, Jaisalmer, New Delhi, Thiruvananthapuram and Bangalore) representing different climatic zones had been carried out. Simulations are performed for these locations using eQUEST and ANSYS software. Three of the result output from the eQUEST simulation are used to assess the different cases. These outputs are: total… More >
