There is increasing interest in multi-energy communities, which could become important sources of demand response flexibility, especially when equipped with storage. Their location on distribution networks mean their exploitation to solve local capacity congestions may be particularly valuable, whilst ability partake energy/reserve markets can improve business cases. However, maximizing this flexibility potential by providing multiple services that are subject uncertain calls a challenging...
This paper presents a two-stage stochastic programming model for provision of flexible demand response (DR) based on thermal energy storage in the form hot water and/or building material. Aggregated residential electro-thermal technologies (ETTs), such as electric heat pumps and (micro-) combined power, are modeled unified nontechnology specific way. Day-ahead optimization is carried out considering uncertainty outdoor temperature, electricity consumption, dwelling occupancy, imbalance...
Abstract. The effect of photochemical ageing and initial precursor concentration on the composition hygroscopic properties secondary organic aerosol (SOA) formed during chamber photo-oxidation β-caryophyllene/NOx mixtures were investigated. Nucleation β-caryophyllene SOA particles occurred almost immediately after oxidation was initiated led to formation fresh with a relatively simpler than has been reported for monoterpenes. yield values ranged from 9.5–26.7% 30.4–44.5% using differential...
• Microgrids provision of energy, reserve and reliability services is examined. Dynamic price signals are formulated with a proposed stochastic approach. A MILP tool to co-optimise Microgrid behaviour when facing conflicting signals. Synergies conflicts between encourage different behaviour. In this work new techno-economic framework model assess business cases for novel provided by (MGs) presented. The combines bespoke Transactive Energy (TE) approach that aims at co-optimizing these...
Multienergy systems (MES) can optimally deploy their internal operational flexibility to use combinations of different energy vectors meet the needs end-users and potentially support wider system. Key relevant applications MES are multienergy districts (MEDs) with, for example, integrated electricity gas distribution district heating networks. Simulation optimization MEDs is a grand challenge requiring sophisticated techno-economic tools that capable modeling buildings distributed resources...
Abstract. The volatile and hygroscopic properties of ammonium sulphate seeded unseeded secondary organic aerosol (SOA) derived from the photo-oxidation atmospherically relevant concentrations α-pinene were studied. seed particles electrospray generated ((NH4)2SO4) having diameters approximately 33 nm with a quasi-mono-disperse size distribution (geometric standard deviation σg=1.3). both SOA simultaneously measured VH-TDMA (volatility – hygroscopicity tandem differential mobility analyzer)....
Traffic-related air pollution is associated with increased mortality and morbidity, yet few studies have examined strategies to reduce individual exposure while commuting. The present study aimed quantify how choice of mode route type affects personal pollutants during We analyzed within-person difference in exposures multiple (black carbon (BC), monoxide (CO), ultrafine particle number concentration (PNC), fine particulate matter (PM2.5)) commutes between the home workplace for 45...
Cookstoves emit many pollutants that are harmful to human health and the environment. However, most of existing scientific literature focuses on fine particulate matter (PM2.5) carbon monoxide (CO). We present an extensive data set speciated air pollution emissions from wood, charcoal, kerosene, liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) cookstoves. One-hundred twenty gas- particle-phase constituents—including organic carbon, elemental (EC), ultrafine particles (10–100 nm), inorganic ions, carbohydrates,...
Abstract. Cloud condensation nuclei counter (CCNC) measurements performed at 14 locations around the world within European Integrated project on Aerosol Climate and Air Quality interactions (EUCAARI) framework have been analysed discussed with respect to cloud (CCN) activation hygroscopic properties of atmospheric aerosol. The annual mean ratio activated (NCCN) total number concentration particles (NCN), known as fraction A, shows a similar functional dependence supersaturation S many –...
Growing evidence links household air pollution exposure from biomass cookstoves with elevated blood pressure. We assessed cross-sectional associations of 24-hour mean concentrations personal and kitchen fine particulate matter (PM2.5 ), black carbon (BC), stove type pressure, adjusting for confounders, among 147 women using traditional or cleaner-burning Justa stoves in Honduras. investigated effect modification by age body mass index. Traditional users had (standard deviation) PM2.5 126...
This study investigated the role of microenvironment on personal exposures to black carbon (BC), fine particulate mass (PM2.5), monoxide (CO), and particle number concentration (PNC) among adult residents Fort Collins, Colorado, USA. Forty-four participants carried a backpack containing monitoring instruments for eight nonconsecutive 24-hour periods. Exposures were apportioned into five microenvironments: Home, Work, Transit, Eateries, Other. Personal exhibited wide heterogeneity that was...
Abstract. Aerosol physical, chemical and hygroscopic properties were measured in a range of airmasses during COPS (Convective Orographically-induced Precipitation Study) ground-based June July 2007 at the Hornisgrinde mountain site Black Forest, Southwest Germany. Non-refractory aerosol composition was with an Mass Spectrometer, simultaneous to growth factors 86% relative humidity CCN activity measurements for particles dry (<20%) diameters 27 217 nm, particle water uptake exhibiting...
Abstract. We demonstrate that the water uptake properties derived from sub- and super-saturated measurements of chamber-generated biogenic secondary organic aerosol (SOA) particles are independent their degree oxidation, determined using both online offline methods. SOA formed photooxidation five structurally different VOCs, representing a broad range emitted species corresponding chemical reactivity: α-pinene, β-caryophyllene, limonene, myrcene linalool. The fractional contribution mass...
Abstract. The link between measured sub-saturated hygroscopicity and cloud activation potential of secondary organic aerosol particles produced by the chamber photo-oxidation α-pinene in presence or absence ammonium sulphate seed was investigated using two models varying complexity. A simple single parameter model a more complex (incorporating surface effects) were used to assess detail required predict condensation nucleus (CCN) activity from water uptake. Sub-saturated uptake three tandem...
