This paper describes the City Energy Analyst (CEA), a computational framework for the
analysis and optimization of energy systems in neighborhoods and city districts. The …

We introduce an integrated model for characterization of spatiotemporal building energy
consumption patterns in neighborhoods and city districts. The model addresses the need for …

This research presents a mathematical formulation for optimizing integration of complex
industrial systems from the level of unit operations to processes, entire plants, and finally to …

A multi-objective, multi-period model for optimizing the design and operating strategy of
district energy systems is proposed by authors [1]. In the developed model the process and …

Energy communities are key actors in the energy transition since they optimally interconnect
renewable energy capacities with the consumers. Despite versatile objectives, they usually …

In order to fully exploit the potential of renewable energy resources (RERs) for building
applications, optimal design and control of the different energy systems is a compelling …

Data are essential to urban building energy models and yet, obtaining sufficient and
accurate building data at a large-scale is challenging. Previous studies have highlighted that …

The expected increase of the penetration of distributed renewable energy technologies into
the electricity grid is expected to lead to major challenges. As a main stakeholder, authorities …

A systematic procedure including process design and integration techniques for designing
and operating energy distribution networks, and for transportation of resources is presented …
