Sattich, T (author), Ydersbond, IM (author), Scholten, D.J. (author)Europe’s power system is still marked by a distinct national component, and despite some regions with strongly integrated power systems, electricity supply today still has a largely national basis. Policies to decarbonise the power sector may fundamentally alter this situation, because power generation from renewable, carbon-neutral sources may...journal article 2015

Voulis, N. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Urban areas consist of a mix of households and services, such as offices, shops and schools. Yet most urban energy models only consider household load profiles, omitting the service sector. Realistic assessment of the potential for renewable resource integration in cities requires models that include detailed demand and generation profiles....journal article 2017

Acosta, Cristina (author), Ortega, Mariana (author), Bunsen, Till (author), Koirala, B.P. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICES) are an emerging local energy system focusing on the collective use of distributed energy resources (DER). These socio-technical systems (STSs) have a high potential to advance the transition towards socially inclusive, environmentally-friendly energy systems and to stimulate the local economy. While...journal article 2018

Elmustapha, Houda (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Bressers, Hans (author)Climate change and environmental problems are of major concern to governments, organisations, and consumers. This stresses the need for a transition towards clean renewable energy systems. To enable the diffusion of cleaner energy technology it is not enough to just have supportive policies in place. The challenge is to ensure that consumers...journal article 2018

Botta, G. (author), Mor, R.K. (author), Patel, H.C. (author), Aravind, P.V. (author)Bi-directional solid oxide cell systems (Bi-SOC) are being increasingly considered as an electrical energy storage method and consequently as a means to boost the penetration of renewable energy (RE) and to improve the grid flexibility by power-to-gas electrochemical conversion. A major advantage of these systems is that the same SOC stack...journal article 2018

Elmustapha, Houda (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Bressers, Hans (author)In light of climate change and global commitments, a great amount of programs and policies have been implemented by governments targeting the diffusion of renewable energy technologies. Successful diffusion relies on the understanding, persuasion and acceptance by consumers and other stakeholders. This article investigates the views, roles...journal article 2018

Pradana, Yano Surya (author), Muhamad Hartono, M. (author), Prasetya, Agus (author)Nowadays, the global energy crisis has been encouraging the development of renewable energy. Biomass has emerged as one of the most attractive renewable energy sources in Indonesia. Compared with fossil fuels, biomass is available in abundant quantity, renewable, and non-toxic. Pyrolitic, a method to process biomass, was performed in a...journal article 2018

Esteban, Miguel (author), Portugal-Pereira, Joana (author), Mclellan, Benjamin C. (author), Bricker, J.D. (author), Farzaneh, Hooman (author), Djalilova, Nigora (author), Ishihara, Keiichi N. (author), Takagi, Hiroshi (author), Roeber, Volker (author)In the aftermath of the Paris Agreements, many countries around the globe have pledged to reduce the amount of greenhouse gas emissions being released into the atmosphere. To do so, it is important that the amount of renewable energy in the electricity grid increases. However, there are worries of the capacity of the grid to cope with...journal article 2018

Marín, Luis G. (author), Cruz, Nicolás (author), Sáez, Doris (author), Sumner, Mark (author), Nunez, Alfredo (author)Prediction interval modelling has been proposed in the literature to characterize uncertain phenomena and provide useful information from a decision-making point of view. In most of the reported studies, assumptions about the data distribution are made and/or the models are trained at one step ahead, which can decrease the quality of the...journal article 2019

The evolution of electricity price on the German day-ahead market before and after the energy switchKhoshrou, A. (author), Dorsman, André B. (author), Pauwels, Eric J. (author)Germany is a forerunner in developing renewable energies. It is therefore of considerable interest to investigate the impact of switch to renewables on the market during transition era. The aim of this study is in two parts: 1) Investigating the volatility; and 2) Conducting a descriptive study on the evolution of daily profiles and emergence...journal article 2019

Kheybari, S. (author), Kazemi, Mostafa (author), Rezaei, J. (author)One of the major factors in the success of renewable energy is finding a proper location for production facilities. At a national level, different parts of a country (e.g. provinces) can be seen as alternatives that can be assessed based on a set of criteria, and ranking them to identify the best location. The focus in this paper is on...journal article 2019
