Abstract
Having emerged as a new paradigm to re-structure energy systems around citizens, energy communities have quickly gained the attention of researchers worldwide. Nevertheless, a significant challenge is the lack of datasets and tools to support research developments at scale. As such, this paper presents the PRO-social energy Community SIMulator, an open-source project to support the development and evaluation of pro-social energy management schemes in energy communities.
Abstract
This paper presents the initial results of ultrasonic waste monitoring during the operation of one industrial kitchen. Undifferentiated, paper and plastic waste bins were monitored, and a heuristic-based waste disposal event detector was developed and evaluated. The results show that it is possible to identify disposal events in the three waste bins. Furthermore, it is also possible to determine when paper and plastic are compressed to make additional room.
