Electrical power loads occurring in individual houses are categorized and modeled statistically. We developed a thermostat model to simulate the HVAC power draw, one of the most important residential load categories. In the present work, we replace the simulated thermostat from one of the house models participating in the aggregated load control, with a physical instance of commercial smart thermo-stat. Specifically, we selected a ’Nest Learning Thermostat’ for integration in the load simulation. We used the Nest Application Programming Interface (API) for the integration process. We implemented a PID control system to regulate the temperature of an environmental chamber where the Nest thermostat is installed. The environmental chamber is intended to provide the Nest with conditions similar to what it would experience in a real-life setting. Learnings from the present work will serve to increase the realism of large-scale agent-based simulations.","PeriodicalId":127111,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"41 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129512154","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When originally built, the smart grid design did not feature a substation, which is a key component of a smart grid. In the smart grid model that was already designed, the transformers were present for the voltage drops required at the different structures. When dealing with higher voltages, it is common to see more complicated bus configurations, which is why we have chosen to use the breaker and half configuration for the high side. By choosing this configuration it will provide power to the customer more efficiently and reliably. As for the low side of the substation we have chosen the main bus and transfer bus configuration to ensure reliability while also saving some money. Due to our budget constraints and space within the smart grid we elected to use relays instead of circuit breakers. The other objective of our project was to fix small errors that were present within the smart grid due to budgetary and time constraints of the previous groups work. The main problem was rewiring the negative output of the transformers so that they run to the negative input of the loads instead of ground.","PeriodicalId":127111,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124986790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, current design practices typically evaluate performance assuming that a given system starts empty and operates independently from nearby stormwater infrastructure. There is a conspicuous need for more realistic design-phase indicators of performance that consider a larger set of initial conditions and the effects of coupled dynamics. To this end, we apply a control-theoretic method, called reachability analysis, to produce a more objective measure of system robustness. We seek two primary contributions in this work. First, we demonstrate how the application of reachability analysis to a dynamic model of a stormwater network can characterize the set of initial conditions from which every element in the network can avoid overflowing under a given surface runoff signal of finite duration. This is, to the authors’ knowledge, the first published application of reachability analysis to stormwater systems. Our second contribution is to offer an interpretation of the outcomes of the proposed reachability analysis as a measure of system robustness that can provide useful information when making critical design decisions. We illustrate the effectiveness of this method in revealing the trade-offs of particular design choices relative to a desired level of robustness.","PeriodicalId":127111,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"9 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115105754","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Designing more efficient cooling systems would result in durability and sustainability for components subject to high temperature values or heat fluxes. The porous substrate provides a very large surface area for a specific volume that is an essential parameter in heat transfer process. Metal foam is a type of porous material with an interconnected system of metal filaments providing a light and highly conductive substrate. In this work, thermal transport through porous filled heat exchangers is investigated numerically employing local thermal non-equilibrium model. In this model, volume averaging over each of the fluid and solid phases in porous media results in an energy equation for each individual phase. The variable cross section porous filled heat exchanger is subject to a uniform high heat flux at its base surface. The base surface would be in contact with an electronic device to be cooled. The coolant enters the heat exchanger through single or multiple jet impingements normal to the base and moves through the porous field. Utilizing local thermal non-equilibrium model, the flow field characteristics, contours, streamlines, and solid and fluid temperature profiles are investigated. In addition, the effects of single and multi jet impingement with different orientation, 5% titanium dioxide (TiO2) in water nanofluid and water coolants, and low and high porosity values are studied in this work, to achieve an optimum design with lowest temperature values and highest temperature uniformity on the base.","PeriodicalId":127111,"journal":{"name":"2018 IEEE Conference on Technologies for Sustainability (SusTech)","volume":"21 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-11-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116104361","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
