Towards sustainable urban living: A holistic energy strategy for electric vehicle and heat pump adoption in residential communities (2024)
Journal Article
Dik, A., Kutlu, C., Sun, H., Calautit, J. K., Boukhanouf, R., & Omer, S. (2024). Towards sustainable urban living: A holistic energy strategy for electric vehicle and heat pump adoption in residential communities. Sustainable Cities and Society, 107, Article 105412. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.scs.2024.105412

Electric vehicles (EVs) and heat pumps (HPs) are key in reducing carbon emissions from transportation and domestic heating, yet their adoption may increase peak load demands on electrical networks. One of the aims of this research is to assess the po...

An approach for energy management of renewable energy sources using electric vehicles and heat pumps in an integrated electricity grid system (2023)
Journal Article
Dik, A., Kutlu, C., Omer, S., Boukhanouf, R., Su, Y., & Riffat, S. (2023). An approach for energy management of renewable energy sources using electric vehicles and heat pumps in an integrated electricity grid system. Energy and Buildings, 294, Article 113261. https://doi.org/10.1016/j.enbuild.2023.113261

The demand for electricity has been increasing worldwide and it is predicted that this trend will be particularly reinforced in developing countries by the gradual electrification of the transport sector and heat generation in buildings. The energy... Read More about An approach for energy management of renewable energy sources using electric vehicles and heat pumps in an integrated electricity grid system.

Investigation on a Vermiculite-Based Solar Thermochemical Heat Storage System for Building Applications (2022)
Journal Article
Zhang, Y., Chen, Z., Kutlu, C., Su, Y., & Riffat, S. (2022). Investigation on a Vermiculite-Based Solar Thermochemical Heat Storage System for Building Applications. Future Cities and Environment, 8(1), 1-14. https://doi.org/10.5334/fce.153

Industrial processes and the building sector (e.g., for space and water heating) are responsible for the majority of the total energy consumed for heat. Although fossil fuels remain to dominate the heating sector, renewable heating technologies have...
