Delivering building demand flexibility for grid-interactive operation: from perception and cognition to decision, execution, and verification

As both buildings and power systems undergo rapid decarbonization, demand flexibility (DF) in buildings has emerged as a key enabler for renewable energy integration, grid reliability, energy resilience, and efficient and low carbon operation. By dynamically adjusting building en...

Production, Biodegradation,and Recalcitrance of OrganicCarbon from Cultivated Saccharina latissima in Norway

Abstract Particulate (POC) and dissolved (DOC) organic carbon released during macroalgae cultivation has been shown to lead to carbon burial and export to the open ocean and deep sea. The recalcitrant portion of the DOC (RDOC) is a critical contributor to carbon sequestration and...

Bridging Nanoscopic Surface Heterogeneity and MacroscopicNucleation Rates: A Perspective on Probabilistic Approaches

Abstract Predicting the number of newly formed crystals and their spatial distribution on surfaces or within pore spaces matters across many fields, from structural biology to coupled fluid flow and reactive transport in porous media to atmospheric physics. Nucleation occurs at m...

Eddy kinetic energy and energy conversion rates along the Atlantic Water boundary current north of Svalbard

Abstract. On the continental slope north of Svalbard, the boundary current carrying Atlantic Water (AW) loses heat as it flows eastward. This cooling cannot be fully attributed to atmospheric heat loss or turbulent mixing. Lateral exchange, potentially linked to mesoscale activit...
