Energy planning is fundamental to ensure a sustainable, affordable, and reliable energy mix
for the future. Energy system optimization models (ESOMs) are the accurate tools to guide …

A recent article 'Burden of proof: A comprehensive review of the feasibility of 100%
renewable-electricity systems' claims that many studies of 100% renewable electricity …

Smart energy services and technologies are key components of energy transition and
decarbonisation strategies for the built environment. On the one hand, the technical potential …

Research attention on decentralized autonomous energy systems has increased
exponentially in the past three decades, as demonstrated by the absolute number of …

The role of cities in reducing global greenhouse gas emissions is rapidly evolving, as
evidenced by significant growth in transnational municipal networks and local climate …

Energy system models are advancing rapidly. However, it is not clear whether models are
becoming better, in the sense that they address the questions that decision-makers need to …

The quality of electricity system modelling heavily depends on the input data used. Although
a lot of data is publicly available, it is often dispersed, tedious to process and partly contains …

Energy transitions are reshaping global and national energy systems and appropriate
decision-making strategies are needed to drive an effective change in response to pressing …

The European electricity industry, the dominant sector of the world's largest cap-and-trade
scheme, is one of the most-studied examples of carbon pricing. In particular, numerical …

This paper reviews different approaches to modelling the energy transition towards a zero
carbon economy. It identifies a number of limitations in current approaches such as a lack of …
