Mitigating Peak Load and Heat Stress under Heat Waves by Scheduling Cooling and Energy Storage Systems

As the climate changes, heat waves are becoming more frequent and severe. Exposure to heat waves could lead to heat stress. Heat waves intensify cooling demand and reduce air conditioner efficiencies. It causes peaks in electricity demand that pose operational challenges to the power grid. This thes...
