Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) emerged in the reform of local energy
systems during the energy transition. Cost allocation within an ICES is one of the key issues …

Insufficient flexibility in system operation caused by traditional “heat-set” operating modes of
combined heat and power (CHP) units in winter heating periods is a key issue that limits …

The decreasing cost of energy storage and increasing demand for local flexibility are
opening up new possibilities for energy storage deployment at the local level. Community …

In order to decarbonize the energy sector, there is a widespread consensus that the role of
end-users in the energy system should change from passive consumption to active …

Charging electric vehicles (EVs) is of great concern both for future vehicle owners and grid
operators, with charging at home being the preferred solution by 90% of owners. In addition …

Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) are an emerging local energy system
focusing on the collective use of distributed energy resources (DER). These socio-technical …

Abstract Carbon-dioxide (CO 2) is a critical heat trapping greenhouse gas (GHG) that results
in global warming. Thus, many countries across the world including Canada have agreed for …

Buildings are responsible for 40% of the global energy consumption, thus leading to
significant climate change and other environmental impacts. Adopting carbon capturing …

Renewable energy investment is a complex process where multiple actors are often
involved with their own, sometimes conflicting, interests. Here we propose a multi-actor multi …

With energy transition gaining momentum, energy storage technologies are increasingly
spotlighted as they can effectively handle mismatches in supply and demand. The …
