Multi-unit residential buildings represent an emerging archetype that requires energy for cooling, heating, and power typically supplied from the local grid. Renewable energy-based solutions meet this energy demand in a sustainable manner by reducing pressure on existing grid infrastructure. In this study, a transient numerical model of a building-based photovoltaic/thermal driven combined cooling, heating and power system with two latent heat thermal energy storage tanks is developed in TRNSYS and C++. The proposed system is assessed for its capability to offset the electrical, space conditioning and domestic hot water requirements of a low-energy multi-unit residential building comprising 12 individual units. This combination demonstrates a novel integration between the proposed system and emerging residential building archetype in North America. A parametric analysis is conducted in which four annual simulations are conducted. Two North American case study locations representing a heating dominated (Ottawa, Canada) and a cooling dominated (Albuquerque, United States of America) climate are examined. For each location, two scenarios of solar collector array area are considered. System performance is assessed via calculation of the annual solar fraction, electricity fraction, and grid electricity consumption. Results show that the total grid electricity consumption varies between 373.6 GJ and 427.5 GJ depending on the local climate conditions, and also operating the system in Albuquerque relative to Ottawa results in an increase in solar fraction and electricity fraction of up to 62% and 40%, respectively. However, increasing the solar collector array area in Ottawa corresponds to an increase in solar fraction, whereas in Albuquerque the solar fraction remains relatively constant, highlighting the proposed system's sensitivity to the local climate. • A novel dual tank control algorithm is integrated into a low energy residential building. • The low energy multi-unit residential building consists of 12 units. • The climate location and collector area are varied in the analysis. • The solar and electricity fractions, and grid electricity consumption are calculated. • The location of the system is an important factor for increasing performance.

• Epistemic uncertainty based reliability assessment of reconfigurable manufacturing systems • Reliability performance models built by optimistic and pessimistic assessment approaches • Numerical analysis of the optimistic and pessimistic based reliability models The importance of assessing the reliability of a complex system paradigm such as a reconfigurable manufacturing system arises from its relationship with quality, efficiency, flexibility, complexity, safety and application. However, during practical reliability analysis of a reconfigurable manufacturing system, epistemic uncertainty can emerge since the degradation information of the complex system can be insufficient, making it critical to develop a response approach. Therefore, this study develops an approach which takes into account the two extreme possibilities - optimistic and pessimistic - to set the boundary for the reliability performance of the system. The approach is proposed specifically for a reconfigurable manufacturing system with variable configuration orders. The optimistic assessment assumes that the system does not have a usage history when reconfigured with a new tool. In contrast, the pessimistic assessment assumes that the usage history has full impact on the newly reconfigured system. An algorithm is developed for the optimistic and pessimistic assessment model based on Monte Carlo simulation. The simulation result demonstrates the ability of the approach to analyze different levels of optimism and pessimism, and to quantify the uncertainty of reliability performance of a reconfigurable manufacturing system.
