Automatically estimating the savings potential of occupancy-based heating strategies
(2017)A large fraction of energy consumed in households is due to space heating. Especially during daytime, the heating is often running constantly, controlled only by a thermostat – even if the inhabitants are not present. Taking advantage of the absence of the inhabitants to save heating energy by lowering the temperature thus poses a great opportunity. Since the concrete savings of an occupancy-based heating strategy strongly depend on the ...Working Paper -

Transmission Network Reduction Method using Nonlinear Optimization
(2017)This paper presents a new method to determine the susceptances of a reduced transmission network representation by using nonlinear optimization. We use Power Transfer Distribution Factors (PTDFs) to convert the original grid into a reduced version, from which we determine the susceptances. From our case studies we find that considering a reduced injection-independent evaluated PTDF matrix is the best approximation and is by far better ...Working Paper -
Politicized Trade: What Drives Withdrawal of Trade Preferences?
(2017)KOF Working PapersWhile it is well understood that industrialized countries use aid to grantpolitical favors, little research covers alternative channels such as trade policytowards developing countries.
