Our research group aims at achieving
smart zero-energy and zero-carbon district energy systems for carbon
neutrality and climate change mitigation, via cleaner power
production, energy-efficient system design and operation, innovation
in smart energy integration, and multi-objective optimization of
nonlinear dynamic behaviours with artificial intelligence.
Cross-disciplinary areas and multi-disciplinary research with
cutting-edge technologies are required, including materials
engineering, chemical engineering, thermodynamics, computational
fluid dynamics, renewable energy engineering, energy economics, and
artificial intelligence. Dr.Zhou's current research interests include
the electrochemical battery, hydrogen and pumped hydro storages in
zero-energy buildings, life-cycle carbon-neutral buildings,
peer-to-peer energy trading, and inter-city energy migration energy
network with a hydrogen economy. We are continuously contributing to
Low-energy and zero-energy
buildings, Building
integrated renewable energy systems,
Smart buildings
with artificial intelligence,
Lifecycle zero-carbon buildings, etc.
