Overview
Personal Profile
Yingli Lou's research focuses on residential building electrification, load flexibility, and grid-interactive energy modeling using large-scale housing stock simulations. She develops and validates upgrade measures and control strategies in ResStock to evaluate electrification pathways, appliance scheduling, and thermostat-based demand response across U.S. homes. Lou's work includes modeling electrical panel and breaker-space constraints to assess electrification feasibility, improving hourly appliance power simulations for flexible load analysis, and supporting national-scale studies of high-efficiency and low-voltage electrification strategies. She also contributes to technical documentation and public datasets supporting energy analysis and stakeholder decision-making.
