With synergies among multiple energy sectors, integrated energy systems (IESs) have been
recognized lately as an effective approach to accommodate large-scale renewables and …

The present study explores the implementation of district heating and cooling systems
across a broad set of case studies reported in the literature. Topics addressed include their …

Integration of electricity and heat distribution networks offers extra flexibility to system
operation and improves energy efficiency. The energy hub (EH) plays an important role in …

The significant increase in energy consumption and the rapid development of renewable
energy, such as solar power and wind power, have brought huge challenges to energy …

Due to the intermittency and uncertainty in photovoltaic (PV) power outputs, not only
deterministic point predictions (DPPs), but also associated prediction Intervals (PIs) are …

The increasing concerns with adverse environmental issues have led to the proliferation of
renewable energy resources (RESs), which have been expanded more recently to multi …

Geothermal heat is an energy source that is local, reliable, resilient, environmentally-
friendly, and sustainable. This natural energy is produced from the heat within the earth, and …

A two-stage robust optimization (RO) method for buildings' space heating loads (SHLs) in an
integrated community energy system (ICES) is proposed. At the first stage, a bi-level …

There is a considerable diversity of district heating (DH) technologies, components and
interaction in EU countries. The trends and developments of DH are investigated in this …
