Energy consumption of baggage handling systems: Impact assessment on the effect of taking into account energy consumption during preliminary design stage

As a consequence of globalization and developing economies becoming more mature, airports face increasing passenger numbers. It is the case that large airports are energy intensive buildings with an electricity consumption ranging between 100 - 300 GWh anually. Within ATBs (Airport Terminal Buildings) the BHS (Baggage Handling System) is...

Loads of lifestyles: A latent lifestyle model for interpreting and simulating electrical energy consumption

The rapid and uncertain penetration of distributed energy resources is changing the way people are consuming electricity. This development increases the risk of instability and congestion in the grid, posing great challenges to system operators in the near future. In order to optimally allocate resources and plan grid enhancement, distribution...
