Active Participation of Buildings in the Energy Networks: Dynamic/Operational Models and Control Challenges

New advances in small-scale generation and consumption technologies have shifted conventional buildings’ functionality towards energy-efficient active buildings (ABs). Such developments drew the attention of researchers all around the world, resulting in a variety of publications, including several...
