Extreme temperatureThe relationship between energy use and climate change is the center of analysis about mitigation and adaptation. Yet current studies of the electricity-climate relationship are focus on developed countries. Little was known about the energy-use behavior in group living. By using ...
Achievement of the central goal of the 2016 Paris Climate Agreement — that of limiting the increase in global average temperature to well below 2°C above pre-industrial levels — depends critically on eliminating the use of fossil fuels to generate electricity and then electrifying as much of ...
Long-term temperature change and variability are expected to have significant impacts on future electric capacity and investments. This study improves upon past studies by accounting for hourly and monthly dynamics of electricity use, long-term socioecon
fractional change in total electricity demand for hours above and below T∗, and distinguishes the contribution of the structure of electricity demand (i.e., the magnitude of the average temperature semi-elasticity of demand) from the effects of the shift in temperature exposures (see “Methods...
delinked from commitments toward cutting down carbon emissions andnow faces an uncertain future, with developed countries failing to live up to their earlier “pledge” of providing finance to developing nations to “help them adapt to climate change and mitigate further rises in temperature.”...
The effect of climate change enters the modeling via the weather-dependent wind and solar generation time series as well as the temperature-dependent part of the electricity demand. State-of-the-art methodology has been used to convert raw wind and solar climate data into 3-hourly country-wise...
While marginal increases in ambient air temperature due to climate change accounted for only 4–8% of future increases in peak demand, differences in annual maximum temperatures within the 20-year periods affected results by 40–66% indicating a high sensitivity to heat waves. Population growth of...
different from room temperature, the proper values of resistivities must be used to calculate the resistance. As an example, equation (20) shows that a copper wire 59 metres long and with a cross-sectional area of one square millimetre has an electric resistance of oneohmat room temperature....
Climate change could significantly affect consumer demand for energy in buildings, as changing temperatures may alter heating and cooling loads. Warming climates could also lead to the increased adoption and use of cooling technologies in buildings. We a
5. This change is attributed to the fact that compared to specification (3), in model (4), we assume that we do not yet know the daily lagged levels of production, demand and temperature; thus, we use variables lagged two days. This approach obviously decreases the explanatory power of ...
