Recent advances toward sustainable cities have promoted the concept of near-zero energy
consumption. A Positive Energy Building (PEB) model has been developed by the European …

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 …

This paper presents a thorough review of 75 modelling tools currently used for analysing
energy and electricity systems. Increased activity within model development in recent years …

Buildings in cities consume up to 70% of all primary energy. To achieve cities' energy and
climate goals, it is necessary to reduce energy use and associated greenhouse gas …

With a rapid growth of Integrated Energy System (IES) in various scenarios, researches on
IES have attracted extensive attention in the last few decades. Inspired by the ever …

About 75% of the world's energy consumption takes place in cities. Although their large
energy consumption attracts a large number of research projects, only a small fraction of …

Optimal design and operation of multi-energy systems involving seasonal energy storage
are often hindered by the complexity of the optimization problem. Indeed, the description of …

Modeling renewable energy systems is a computationally-demanding task due to the high
fluctuation of supply and demand time series. To reduce the scale of these, this paper …

Optimization-based frameworks for energy system modeling such as TIMES, ETHOS. FINE,
or PyPSA have emerged as important tools to outline a cost-efficient energy transition …

Determining environmentally-and economically-optimal energy systems designs and
operations is complex. In particular, the integration of weather-dependent renewable energy …
