  • Bayesian energy measurement and verification analysis 
    Carstens, Herman; Xia, Xiaohua; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma (MDPI Publishing, 2018)
    Energy Measurement and Verification (M&V) aims to make inferences about the savings achieved in energy projects, given the data and other information at hand. Traditionally, a frequentist approach has been used to quantify ...
  • Decision support in supply chain management for disaster relief in Somalia 
    Van Wyk, Estelle; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma; Carstens, Herman (Springer, 2013)
    Somalia, a country situated in Eastern Africa has been struggling between rival warlords and an inability to deal with famine. Diseases have resulted to the deaths of up to millions of people. According to a New York Times ...
  • Efficient longitudinal population survival survey sampling for the measurement and verification of lighting retrofit projects 
    Carstens, Herman; Xia, Xiaohua; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma; Rajan, Arvind (Elsevier, 2017-09)
    A method is presented for reducing the required sample sizes for reporting energy savings with predetermined statistical accuracy in lighting retrofit measurement and verification projects, where the population of retrofitted ...
  • Low-cost energy meter calibration method for measurement and verification 
    Carstens, Herman; Xia, Xiaohua; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma (Elsevier, 2017-02)
    Energy meters need to be calibrated for use in Measurement and Verification (M&V) projects. However, calibration can be prohibitively expensive and a ect project feasibility negatively. This study presents a novel low-cost ...
  • Measurement uncertainty in energy monitoring : present state of the art 
    Carstens, Herman; Xia, Xiaohua; Yadavalli, Venkata S. Sarma (Elsevier, 2018-03)
    Measurement uncertainty is a key component in the overall uncertainty calculation for Measurement and Verification (M&V) projects. However, in some cases, it is reduced to outlier detection or basic uncertainty propagation ...
