Therefore, one of the most effective ways to prevent thermal runaway is to detect and identify internal short-circuit lithium-ion batteries before thermal runaway using a battery management system. This paper investigates the detection and identification of internal short circuits in batteries by proposing a multi-variable stepwise analysis (MSA) method. The MSA method is proposed for detecting and identifying faulty batteries by combining horizontal and vertical comparison methods and aging cells' ohmic internal resistance variation characteristics. A less consistent pack containing aging cells was designed to perform internal short-circuit experiments. Based on setting the appropriate threshold and moving the window frame horizontally, comparing the deviation degree of the ohmic internal resistance of each cell in the battery pack and the average ohmic internal resistance of the normal battery, the aging battery in the battery pack can be effectively identified. State of health (SOH) is the percentage remaining of the battery's actual maximum capacity value. The deviation degree of ohmic internal resistance of aging batteries with SOH of 92% and 80% is maintained at more than 15% and 45%. For early internal shorts with an equivalent internal short-circuit resistance of 100 Ω, the internal short-circuit detection time is 3896 s. For the short circuit in the middle and later periods (<10<span><math><mstyle><mi>Ω</mi></mstyle></math></span>), the MSA algorithm can achieve rapid internal short-circuit detection within the 50 s window, reducing the risk of thermal runaway.

Thus, the timing of offsetting, named breakeven point (BEP), was analyzed between two models of ACs manufactured in Japan with different energy efficiencies in this study, considering material and carbon footprints based on different lifestyles.

Because solar radiation measurements are unavailable at many locations throughout the world, many solar radiation models have been developed to predict global solar radiation. In this regard, this study objects to develop accurate and quick Global Solar Radiation (GSR) models for new locations, which currently lack an accurate model. Additionally, assess the performance of a recently introduced model, one of the best temperature-based models for GSR estimation, in these five new sites. Moreover, the proposed model's generalization capacity is investigated over the whole zone, the Suez Canal Zone, and a comparative analysis of its performance is presented. Models’ estimation is compared to the observed values, and the most common performance indicators are obtained to assess models’ performance. The findings indicate that the developed models in this study can predict global solar radiation accurately. Where the Models’ performance, both the local and general models, are larger than 95 % at all sites except for the local one at Port Said City (coastal site), it is 91 %. Additionally, the developed models have good RMSE and MABE values which range from 0.8 to 1.8 (MJ/m<sup>2</sup> day<sup>−1</sup>) and 0.7 to 1.7 (MJ/m<sup>2</sup> day<sup>−1</sup>), successively.

The energy storage element of the EVs can be used in many effective ways, such as increasing spinning reserve, shaving peak load, load levelling, voltage regulation etc. So, establishing a smart grid with several renewable energy sources along with the grid integration of EVs is the recent trend in power systems. One of the commonly observed essential phenomena in the smart grid including a PV system is partial shading (PS), which implicates the reduction of solar irradiation over the PV module, mainly due to leaves or branches of trees, clouds, and dust. Though most previous researchers were concerned about the steady state power reduction during PS, in this research, we focused on the reduction of transient impact on a grid-connected PV system using the controlled Vehicle to Grid (V2G) operation of the EVs. A small-scale microgrid consisting of a PV farm and a diesel generator is considered, where the PV farm experiences different degrees of shading varying from 30 to 70%. The simulation results show that due to the increase of the PS, the percentage overshoot (% OS) and settling time of rotor speed, active power and load current are increased. To mitigate this issue, we proposed the integration of plugged-in electric vehicles (PEVs), through the controlled V2G operation, which is done here by a PI controller. The proposed system improves the transient effects at both the load and generator sides. It has been found that the PS creates an oscillation in rotor speed, which is settled down by the governor system of the generator at the 20s, while the controlled V2G operation reduced this settling time to 10s.

This study aims to optimize hybrid ventilation and daylight-linked dimming control in a subtropical high-rise office building.

These two strategies can be retrofitted in a typical curtain wall system with vertical windows without encountering any technical limitations. EnergyPlus is used to analyze the impact of these strategies on enhancing thermal comfort and illuminance while achieving electricity savings in the high-rise office building. Based on the typical meteorological year of Hong Kong, using natural ventilation in perimeter zones can reduce the energy use intensity (EUI) by 2.6 to 3.41 % for 30.09 to 34.97 % of total operating hours, depending on window-to-wall ratios (WWRs). Furthermore, daylight-linked dimming control in perimeter zones can reduce EUI by 18.91 % to 21.9 % in the HVAC portion and 8.09 % to 12.25 % in the lighting portion during 91.39 % to 98.28 % of total operating hours. Using daylighting with a high WWR helps reduce 6.31 to 9.21 % in total greenhouse gas emissions. The study also develops a logistic regression model using three climatic variables to predict the natural ventilation status. Overall, the use of daylighting greatly improves the percentage of acceptable predicted mean vote (PMV), with the greatest improvements observed in perimeter zones facing east and west on the middle floors. However, the combined application of both strategies results in a tempered improvement. The novelty of this study lies in providing guidance on suitable WWRs for implementing both strategies to achieve carbon reduction.
