This book offers a comprehensive exploration of Building Energy Management Systems (BEMS) and techniques, focusing on principles, methods, and modeling. It delves into the integration of BEMS in smart grids, discussing energy sources such as wind and solar power, and the role of energy storage systems. The text addresses power demand response, demand side management, and the use of advanced algorithms for energy optimization. It also examines the management of HVAC systems, battery storage, and flexible electric appliances, emphasizing renewable energy integration and peer-to-peer energy trading. Designed for practitioners and researchers, the book combines theoretical concepts with practical application examples, aiming to enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort in modern buildings.

This book critically analyses renewable energy sources of electrical power/energy utilised to save money on the amount of electrical energy imported from the national electricity grid and help nations meet binding environmental goals. The main renewable energy sources analysed are wind turbine generators, hydroelectric plant, and solar PV systems. The book presents a robust evaluation framework that can be used in the renewable energy analysis process. One of the main findings is the identification of short-term variations associated mainly with wind turbine electrical generator power output signals. These short-term variations are negating the potential advantages of installing wind turbine electrical generators. One of the suggested methods to counteract the short-term variations is the use of energy storage. Without utility-sized energy storage, binding energy targets will be very difficult to achieve. The three main realms of sustainable development, namely environmental, economic, and human realms, are discussed throughout the book. The three realms are closely interlinked so a weakness identified in any one realm affects the overall sustainability of the (business, country, any organisation) development process. .

Decisive implementation of the stabilization plan—centered on a strong fiscal anchor with no new monetary financing, and relative price corrections—has led to twin fiscal and external surpluses, a marked turnaround in reserves, faster-than-expected disinflation, a bolstering of the BCRA’s balance sheet and a reduction in sovereign spreads to multi-year lows. Selected easing of FX restrictions and deregulatory efforts are improving resource allocation. Nevertheless, macroeconomic imbalances and growth bottlenecks remain sizable and a long and difficult adjustment process still lies ahead, where policies need to evolve to build on earlier gains and support a turnaround in activity. Efforts are also underway to build political and societal support for reforms, as well as to scale up social assistance to protect the most vulnerable and ensure the burden of the adjustment does not fall disproportionally on working families. That said, delays in securing key legislation in Congress have led to some market volatility.

This Selected Issues paper on St. Kitts and Nevis studies economic benefits from energy transition. Cheaper and more stable energy prices can support macroeconomic stability. In addition to the aforementioned effects, low and stable energy prices can mitigate the adverse impact from terms-of-trade shocks and reduce inflation volatility, thus contributing to smoothing out economic cycles. The energy landscape of St. Kitts and Nevis calls for energy reform. The two islands of St. Kitts and Nevis rely heavily on fossil fuels, primarily diesel, to power their grids without Interconnection. The analysis uses cross-country examples to examine the channels through which the adoption of renewable energy on a large scale can yield numerous long-term economic benefits. Transitioning to domestic renewable energy sources could stabilize domestic energy prices and reduce the volatility of inflation. A sharp reduction in energy costs in St. Kitts and Nevis could promote sectoral diversification. High-energy costs can prohibit economic diversification, particularly into energy intensive industries.
