Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 5A Smart Building Energy Management Incorporating Clustering-Based Tariffs in the Presence of Domestic Solar Energy, Battery, and Electric Vehicle(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Alilou, Masoud; Mohammadi-ivatloo, Behnam; Mohammadpourfard, MousaSmart buildings play a crucial role in optimizing energy management within the power network. As end-users of the power network, they have the ability to not only reduce economic costs for householders but also modify the technical indices of the power network. To promote efficient device management in smart homes (SH), demand response programs are recommended for consumers. This research investigates the application of clusteringbased electricity pricing strategy aimed at effectively managing the energy devices of a residential smart home. The utilized method categorizes the electricity tariff into five rates according to the clustering of the realtime pricing program. Ward's clustering method is utilized to cluster and determine new electricity tariffs. The primary goal of the energy management program is to minimize the building's energy cost, which is accomplished through the utilization of the multi-verse optimizer. The smart home consists of essential and manageable appliances, a photovoltaic panel (PV), a sodium-sulfur (NaS) battery, and an electric vehicle (EV). The initial parameters of the PV and EV are modeled stochastically by their probability distribution functions and calculated using the Latin hypercube sampling algorithm. The smart building's performance is assessed by taking into account various demand response programs. The numerical results present that the application of the clusteringbased management method has resulted in a significant reduction of 23-43 % in the electricity cost of smart homes. Additionally, the smart home exhibits a more linear consumption pattern when considering the electricity tariffs based on the clustering approach.Article Citation - WoS: 18Citation - Scopus: 20Cold Plate Enabling Air and Liquid Cooling Simultaneously: Experimental Study for Battery Pack Thermal Management and Electronic Cooling(Elsevier, 2023) Coşkun, Turgay; Çetkin, ErdalThe temperature of cells varies greatly during dis/charge while their performance and lifetime are greatly affected by this fluctuation. Elevated temperatures may yield battery fire due to thermal runaway as well they accelerate ageing and capacity fade of cells. Thermal management systems are a necessity for electric vehicles to extend the lifetime of battery cells and eliminate any fire risks, especially for fast dis/charging applications. Here, we document a hybrid cold plate with a working fluid(s) of sole air or liquid as well as both of them. Hybridization of air and liquid cooling promises to minimize energy consumption requirements during a charge/ discharge cycle by combining the benefits of both thermal management strategies if energy management is controlled accordingly. The temperature of each cell can be kept below 30 degrees C with the proposed hybrid cooling heat exchanger, and the temperature difference between the cells is reduced by 30 % relative to liquid cooling. The maximum temperatures are decreased by 18 % and 3 % in hybrid cooling when compared to air and water cooling, respectively. Furthermore, a step function combining various discharge rates (1C and 3C) was employed in experiments to mimic a realistic situation, i.e. variable C-rate rather than constant. The results show that the temperature of the battery cells can be kept below 30 degrees C with air cooling for variable discharge rate and the effect of contact resistance should not be overlooked for liquid cooling. Furthermore, the possible use of the proposed hybrid cold plates is surveyed in the cooling of electronic devices which produce more and continuous heat than cells. Therefore, three resistance heaters with a capacity of 50W are used in experiments as well. The results show that the proposed cold plates could be used in both electronics cooling and battery thermal management with a control algorithm to switch between sole working fluid and combination modes which could be developed based on the results of this paper.
