At an aquaponics farm in Luxembourg called “Fësch Haff” the effect of the water quality on the growth rate and behaviour of the rainbow trout has been analysed. Three times a week the water quality in the fish tank expressed by temperature, KH (carbonate hardness), pH, ammonium/ammonia, nitrite, nitrate …

Dynamic energy contracts, offering hourly varying day-ahead prices for electricity, create opportunities for a residential Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) to not just optimize the self-consumption of solar energy but also capitalize on price differences. This work examines the financial potential …
