Energy systems across the globe are going through a radical transformation as a result of
technological and institutional changes, depletion of fossil fuel resources, and climate …

Urban multi-energy systems (UMES) incorporating distributed energy resources are vital to
future low-carbon energy systems. These systems demand complex solutions, including …

This paper presents a generic framework for the modeling of energy systems comprising
multiple-energy carriers, such as electricity, heat, gas, biomass, etc. The modeling …

In an energy hub, each energy carrier can be converted to other forms of energy to meet
electricity, heating and cooling power demand in an optimal manner. In this study, a …

Urban energy systems have been commonly considered to be socio-technical systems
within the boundaries of an urban area. However, recent literature challenges this notion in …

Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) are emerging as a modern development to re-
organize local energy systems allowing simultaneous integration of distributed energy …

The concept of energy hubs has grown in prominence as a part of future energy systems,
driven by the spread of Distributed Energy Resources (DERs) and the inception of the smart …

Large-scale diffusion of distributed energy resources (DERs) will have a profound impact on
electricity infrastructure functioning: it will bring radical changes to the traditional model of …

We understand a socio-technical system (STS) as a cyber-physical system in which two or
more autonomous parties interact via or about technical elements, including the parties' …

This paper focusses on investigating the underlying mechanisms and influences of the
policy decision making process and how it affects and impacts the governance of the …
