Special Issue Information

Dear colleagues,

Climate change will have significant impacts on all aspects of the environment, such as human health, rising sea levels, destruction of the ecosystem, droughts, heatwaves, and the efficiency of crop production. Therefore, the growing threat of global climate change requires low carbon energy systems and climate change policies that address this problem at the global, national, and local level. As an innovative way to handle the issues, mainly greenhouse gases and energy consumption, that have the greatest impact on climate change, the modeling, control and optimization of hybrid energy systems will prove the most effective solution.

This Special Issue will be a practical and comprehensive forum for exchanging novel research ideas and empirical practices that bridge the optimization of energy techniques, sustainable energy systems, and the carbon footprint of energy production. Papers that analyze aspects related to energy systems for climate change and those useful for increasing the knowledge of energy systems on the basis of one or more of the following topics are welcome in this Special Issue,

  • Low carbon energy production and use technologies;
  • Climate change model prediction and uncertainties;
  • Thermal energy storage systems;
  • Hybrid energy systems for climate change;
  • Energy harvesting technology;
  • Life-cycle analysis of new energy production;
  • Building environment and energy;
  • Energy saving building materials;
  • Computational fluid dynamics;
  • Urban heat island phenomenon;
  • Carbon capture and waste management;
  • Eco-friendly energy systems;
  • Energy technology and policy in smart cities.

Countries around the world develop and use software based on the monthly calculation method of DIN V 18599:2007 and EN ISO13790 for building energy performance evaluations. The purpose of this study is to propose a method that can consider the effect of reducing cooling energy demand by hybrid ventilation outdoor air cooling in monthly calculation method-based software. For ventilation simulation, some representative floor plans and area types of Korean residential buildings were established through literature research. A number of dynamic energy simulations were performed for various building orientations, heights, and opening factors. Based on the simulation results, a nomograph that can calculate the cooling energy demand reduction factor according to hybrid ventilation that can be applied to the ventilation heat transfer coefficient is proposed.

The mass introduction of renewable energy is essential to reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We examined an operation method that combines the surplus energy of photovoltaic power generation using demand response (DR), which recognizes the balance between power supply and demand, with an aquifer heat storage system. In the case that predicts the occurrence of DR and performs DR storage and heat dissipation operation, the result was an operation that can suppress daytime power consumption without increasing total power consumption. Case 1-2, which performs nighttime heat storage operation for about 6 h, has become an operation that suppresses daytime power consumption by more than 60%. Furthermore, the increase in total power consumption was suppressed by combining DR heat storage operation. The long night heat storage operation did not use up the heat storage amount. Therefore, it is recommended to the heat storage operation at night as much as possible before DR occurs. In the target area of this study, the underground temperature was 19.1 °C, the room temperature during cooling was about 25 °C and groundwater could be used as the heat source. The aquifer thermal energy storage (ATES) system in this study uses three wells, and consists of a well that pumps groundwater, a heat storage well that stores heat and a well that used heat and then returns it. Care must be taken using such an operation method depending on the layer configuration. Full article
