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 …

Abstract The emergence of Pinch Analysis from more than four decades ago opened a new
area of intense research development that has even accelerated in recent years. Initially …

Heat is the most common form of energy either in final or intermediate forms, with the latter
enabling energy conversion to other useful forms. Heat is primarily sourced from fossil fuels …

Sustainable biomass valorization, as agricultural and forestry wastes, and the development
of conversion processes could bring additional benefits like solving the residue disposal …

In this paper, we survey the main superstructure-based approaches in process system
engineering, with a particular emphasis on the existing literature for automated …

A large penetration of variable intermittent renewable energy sources into the electric grid is
stressing the need of installing large-scale Energy Storage units. Pumped Hydro Storage …

The global energy transition to renewable energy is beginning to gain in pace and scale.
This review focuses on how renewable energy from various sources can supply heating …

Environmental sustainability has gained increasing attention in recent years due to the
evident impacts of rapid economic growth and urbanisation. Efficient resources and utility …

From an environmental point of view, reduced use of energy remains a cornerstone in global
greenhouse gas mitigation. However, without full internalization of external costs …

The improvement of heat recovery in the industry has traditionally been approached from
two different viewpoints–Process Intensification and Process Integration. Many of the …
