Addressing the growing concerns of climate change necessitates the decarbonisation of
energy sectors globally. Heating is the largest energy end-use, accounting for almost half of …

Abstract The concept of Smart Buildings was introduced by the Energy Performance
Building Directive, with the aim to promote energy flexibility, renewable energy production …

Demand-side flexibility will play a key role in reaching high levels of renewable generation
and making the transition to a more sustainable energy system. Indeed, end users can …

Energy communities are becoming a key topic in the decarbonization process as they can
simultaneously guarantee economic, environmental, and social benefits. In this paper, an …

We elucidate mid-century climate change impacts on electricity demand accounting for
endogenous adoption of residential air-conditioning (AC) in affluent, cooler countries in …

Power systems in the future are expected to be characterized by an increasing penetration
of renewable energy sources systems. To achieve the ambitious goals of the “clean energy …

In the present energy scenario, buildings are playing more and more as energy prosumers.
They can use and produce energy and also actively manage their energy demand. The …

The ongoing electrification of the heating sector will severely affect the patterns of power
consumption in electrical distribution systems. Coupling electric heat pumps to thermal …

Decarbonisation of the electricity system requires significant and continued investment in
low-carbon energy sources and electrification of the heat and transport sectors. With …

Due to the surge in load demand, the scarcity of fossil fuels, and increased concerns about
global climate change, researchers have found distributed energy resources (DERs) to be …
