Microplastics are practically ubiquitous and pose a serious survival challenge for many species. Most of the exposure experiments for determining the toxicological effects of microplastics were performed with a microplastic varying little in shape an...
Datasets with measurements of both solar electricity production and domestic electricity consumption separated into the major loads are interesting for research focussing on (i) local optimization of solar energy consumption and (ii) non-intrusive lo...
Grid-connected photovoltaic (PV) capacity is increasing and is currently estimated to account for 3.0% of worldwide energy generation. One strategy to balance fluctuating PV power is to incentivize self-consumption by shifting certain loads. The pote...
This paper presents a Genetic Algorithm-based Home Energy Management System designed to exploit the energy flexibility of user-dependent loads by identifying and recommending optimal operating schedules that minimize electricity costs. To determine t...
The condensation of humid air is a crucial step in air conditioning and process engineering. However, the models that describe the condensation of vapour in the presence of a non-condensable gas require time-consuming numerical calculations that go b...
Appliance recognition from aggregate household measurements is challenging under real deployment conditions, where multiple devices operate concurrently and sensor data are affected by imperfections such as noise, missing samples, and nonlinear meter...
