Energy systems analyses are integrated elements in planning the transition towards
renewable energy-based energy systems. This is due to a growing complexity arising from …

This paper presents a strategy for achieving a fully decarbonized Danish energy system
(including transport and industry) in 2045. The strategy could also be relevant for most …

Research on 100% renewable energy systems is a relatively recent phenomenon. It was
initiated in the mid-1970s, catalyzed by skyrocketing oil prices. Since the mid-2000s, it has …

Fourth-generation district heating (4GDH) has been used as a label or expression since
2008 to describe a transition path for decarbonization of the district heating sector and was …

This paper provides a coherent review of district heating in Denmark, exploring past, present
and future perspectives. Danish district heating is known as unique internationally in terms …

Future renewable energy systems with high shares of variable renewable energy production
must also include technologies and measures to balance these production fluctuations. This …

The literature emphasizes the important role of industrial excess heat (IEH) and heat pumps
(HP) in future 4th generation district heating and smart energy systems. However, they can …

This paper investigates the impact of applying optimisation and simulation approaches for
energy system modelling and scenario design in a municipal context. In doing so, the …

Energy geostructures are novel dual use engineering sub-structures that can be used for
heat transfer and storage as well as original structural function. Their use is becoming …

This paper identifies the energy system benefits of transitioning district heating infrastructure
from current 3rd generation district heating (3GDH) to 4th generation district heating (4GDH) …
