A review of mixed-integer linear formulations for framework-based energy system models by Maximilian Hoffmann, Bruno U. Schyska, Julian Bartels, Tristan Pelser, Johannes Behrens, Manuel Wetzel, Hans Christian Gils, Chuen-Fung Tang, Marius Tillmanns, Jan Stock, André Xhonneux, Leander Kotzur, Aaron Praktiknjo, Thomas Vogt, Patrick Jochem, Jochen Linßen, Jann M. Weinand, Detlef Stolten

“…This limits their added value for users who not only want to use models but also program them themselves.To address this issue, we follow a hybrid approach by not only reviewing 63 optimization-based frameworks for energy system modeling with a focus on their mathematical implementation but also conducting a meta-review of 68 existing literature reviews.Our work reveals that the basic concept of network-based energy flow optimization has remained the same since the earliest publications in the 1970s. …”

Influence and optimization of building opening configurations on the performance of enhanced roof ventilation units (ERU): a numerical and orthogonal study by Lei Tian, Zu-An Liu, You Li, Jiawen Hou, Yuling Xiao, Fan Fei, Yueqiu Xia, Wanxiang Yao, Hiroatsu Fukuda

“…Meanwhile, these factors influence laws, degrees, significance levels, and optimal schemes were identified. The findings reveal that: (1) For volume flow rate, the influence ranking is O > C > B > D > G > A, while for outlet average air age and volume air age, the rankings are O > G > A > D > C > B and O > A > G > C > D > B; (2) The indoor combinatorial ventilation efficiency under optimal configuration is 9.75 %, the flow purification rate and air exchange efficiency are 20.21 % and 48.27 %; (3) The percentage dissatisfied (PDT and PDD) under optimal configuration are 0.31 %; (4) Local vortices can lead to poor ventilation performance, but indoor circulation can bring the air exchange efficiency approaching the ideal 50 %. (5) The opening configurations focus on building orientation and dominant wind direction. (6) Appropriate opening configurations are more conducive to ventilation than increasing the area openings. …”

Influence of Farallon Slab Loading on Intraplate Stress and Seismicity in Eastern North America in the Presence of Pre‐Existing Weak Zones by Erin Hightower, Michael Gurnis, Wei Mao

“…This stress amplification exerts a continent‐wide clockwise rotation on the stress field, which in the presence of weak zones reproduces some observed deviations of the seismically inferred SHmax from the regional borehole SHmax, bringing optimally oriented faults, closer to failure, some of which are associated with major historical earthquakes, including the Reelfoot Fault in the NMSZ and the Timiskaming Fault in Western Quebec. …”
