Defence of dissertation in the field of energy efficiency and systems, Benjamin Manrique Delgado, M.Sc. (Tech.)

Heat and electricity prosumers, the new players in the energy system.

The public examination of the doctoral dissertation of Benjamin Manrique Delgado, M.Sc. (Tech.), will be held on 4 May 2018 at 12.00 at the Aalto University School of Engineering. The title of the dissertation is The performance of nearly-zero energy buildings with onsite generation systems as heat and electricity prosumers in the energy system. Field of the dissertation is energy efficiency and systems.

All new buildings in the European Union will soon be required to be nearly zero energy buildings. This, in combination with the increasing popularity of residential renewable energy systems, will create the need for new strategies to manage decentralized energy generation. This study presents the heat and electricity prosumer, and shows its environmental and economical benefits.
