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: 5Citation - Scopus: 7Enhanced Temperature Uniformity With Minimized Pressure Drop in Electric Vehicle Battery Packs at Elevated C-Rates(Wiley, 2022) Güngör, Şahin; Çetkin, ErdalThe trend of transition from fossil fuel to electrification in transportation is a result of no carbon emission produced by electric vehicles (EVs) during their daily operations. Furthermore, the global carbon footprint of EVs can be minimized if the electricity is generated from renewable sources such as wind and solar. On the other hand, there are some drawbacks of these vehicles such as charging time being very long and the mileage range of vehicles not at the desired level. Battery cells are being charged at relatively high C-rates to eliminate these problems, yet high current rates accelerate the aging of batteries and capacity losses due to the generated heat. Generated heat causes overheating, and excess temperature triggers degradation and thermal runaway risks. This paper uncovers how the battery pack temperature uniformity and strict thermal control can be achieved with heat transfer enhancement by conduction (cold plates) and convection (vascular channels). We aimed to reduce the energy consumption of the EV battery pack system while increasing the thermal performance. The impact of the thermal contact resistance is also considered for many realistic scenarios. The results indicate that an integrated system with cold plates and vascular channels satisfies the temperature uniformity requirement (over 81%) with comparatively less pumping power (∼72%) of advanced electric vehicles for relatively high C-rates. Furthermore, findings show the temperature level can increase up to 4°C as thermal contact resistance increases. The proposed cooling technique, which has low cost, easy application, and lower energy consumption superiorities, can be implemented in palpable EV battery packs.
