A smart city is a sustainable and efficient urban centre that provides a high quality of life to its
inhabitants through optimal management of its resources. Energy management is one of the …

The microgrid vision contains several aspects, and a commonly admitted one is a portion of
grid with its own means of production and energy flow controls. Photovoltaic (PV) generation …

A considerable amount of non-dispatchable photovoltaic and wind power have always been
planned in smart cities, however, the problem of massive energy storage has not yet been …

Stabilizing greenhouse gas (GHG) concentrations will require large-scale transformations in
human societies, from the way that we produce and consume energy to how we use the land …

Abstract Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS) might be a central technology to reach the
decarbonisation goals of the European energy system. However, CCS deployment faces …

Distributed photovoltaic (PV) generation is typically connected to power distribution grids,
which are not designed to host a large amount of production if it is significantly larger than …

Distributed energy systems (DES) can help in achieving less carbon-intensive energy
systems through efficiency gains over centralized power systems. This paper presents a …

The integration of electric vehicles (EVs) into smart cities presents a promising opportunity
for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and enhancing urban sustainability. However, there …

Abstract Energy Systems Integration (ESI) is an emerging paradigm and at the centre of the
EU energy debate. ESI takes a holistic view of the electricity, gas, and heat sectors to deliver …

An increasing amount of distributed generation (DG) can cause an increase or a decrease
on distribution network costs. Tariff design is the main tool for allocating these costs to …
