This paper presents a systematic review to align current and future research in smart grids
(SG) and smart urban energy systems (SUES) and unify the diverse but fragmented …

As global urbanisation levels continue to rise, supplying urban areas with low emissions
energy becomes imperative in the fight against climate change. In areas with high demand …

Research on 100% renewable energy systems is a relatively recent phenomenon. It was
initiated in the mid-1970s, catalyzed by skyrocketing oil prices. Since the mid-2000s, it has …

Energy systems analyses are integrated elements in planning the transition towards
renewable energy-based energy systems. This is due to a growing complexity arising from …

Demand side energy flexibility is increasingly being viewed as an essential enabler for the
swift transition to a low-carbon energy system that displaces conventional fossil fuels with …

Fourth-generation district heating (4GDH) has been used as a label or expression since
2008 to describe a transition path for decarbonization of the district heating sector and was …

Seasonal thermal energy storage can provide flexibility to smart energy systems and are
characterised by low cost per unit energy capacity and varying applicability to different …

Decarbonising the heating sector is one of the key elements to realizing the ambitious dual
carbon goals of China, which is the largest carbon emitter and energy consumer globally …
