Koirala, B.P. (author), Chaves Avila, J.P. (author), Gomez, T. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) are emerging as a modern development to re-organize local energy systems allowing simultaneous integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) and engagement of local communities. Although local energy initiatives, such as ICESs are rapidly emerging due to community objectives, such as cost and...journal article 2016

Koirala, B.P. (author)Energy systems across the globe are going through a radical transformation as a result of technological and institutional changes, depletion of fossil fuel resources, and climate change issues. Accordingly, local energy initiatives are emerging and increasing number of the business models are focusing on the end-users. In this context,...doctoral thesis 2017

Urban Energy Masterplanning: Approaches, Strategies, and Methods for the Energy Transition in Citiesvan den Dobbelsteen, A.A.J.F. (author), Roggema, Rob (author), Tillie, Nico (author), Broersma, S. (author), Fremouw, M.A. (author), Martin, C.L. (author)Many cities across the world have the ambition of becoming carbon neutral, but exact figures of progress toward that goal are limited. Regarding Europe’s not overly ambitious 2020 carbon emission targets, many countries still have a long way to go (see Fig. 1), with cities as the prime objects for improvement. It is fair to say that the energy...book chapter 2018

Koirala, B.P. (author), Araghi, Y. (author), Kroesen, M. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)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 prosumption and engagement. This is of particular importance as an increasing number of technologies and business models are focusing on the end-users. These developments...journal article 2018

Causevic, S. (author), Warnier, Martijn (author), Brazier, F.M. (author)Ensuring access to reliable and sustainable power supply is becoming more and more challenging due to a combination of factors such as more frequent power grid outages caused by extreme weather events, the large-scale introduction of renewable energy resources that increases the complexity of the power system, but also aging infrastructure,...journal article 2019

Fouladvand, J. (author), Mouter, N. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Energy communities are key elements in the energy transition at the local level as they aim to generate and distribute energy based on renewable energy technologies locally. The literature on community energy systems is dominated by the study of electricity systems. Yet, thermal energy applications cover 75% of the total energy consumption in...journal article 2020

Acheilas, I. (author), Hooimeijer, F.L. (author), Ersoy, A. (author)In the context of climate change mitigation strategies in urban environments and reducing reliance on carbon-based energy sources, the Netherlands is gradually taking steps towards modification of its thermal energy system. Geothermal energy, widely used in agriculture, has recently emerged as a local, clean, and sustainable energy source able...journal article 2020

Dijckmeester, Frans (author)The energy grid is transitioning from a centrally controlled demand response system to a decentralized supply response system. There are multiple reasons for this, but the main one is the need to transition to a low carbon energy system to tackle climate change and decrease our dependency on non-renewable energy sources. Next to this consumers...master thesis 2020

Norbu, Sonam (author), Couraud, Benoit (author), Robu, Valentin (author), Andoni, Merlinda (author), Flynn, David (author)The trend of decentralization of energy services has given rise to community energy systems. These energy communities aim to maximize the self-consumption of local renewable energy generated and stored in assets that are typically connected to low-voltage (LV) distribution networks. Energy community schemes often involve jointly owned assets...journal article 2021

Fouladvand, J. (author), Aranguren Rojas, Maria (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Energy communities are key elements for local energy transitions, collectively generating, distributing and consuming energy, using renewable energy technologies. Thermal energy communities, as one type of energy community, are focused on thermal energy applications, such as heating, cooling, bathing, showering and providing hot tap water. As...journal article 2021

Cruz Torres, Francesco (author)In the face of environmental challenges of unprecedented scale and urgency, the European Commission enacted in 2019 a new comprehensive growth strategy with the aim of reaching net zero greenhouse gas emissions in 2050. Named as the European Green Deal, this strategy includes energy, biodiversity, pollution, and climate adaptation targets, and...master thesis 2021

Coenen, Frans (author), Hoppe, T. (author)Renewable energy communities (RECs) might be an interesting new stakeholder in stimulating home energy‐saving efforts by tenants and homeowners due to their potential of raising awareness locally and gaining public support for low‐carbon energy and energy‐savings projects, because RECs are often locally sited, in close social proximity of...journal article 2022

Orozco, Camilo (author), Borghetti, Alberto (author), De Schutter, B.H.K. (author), Napolitano, Fabio (author), Pulazza, Giorgia (author), Tossani, Fabio (author)The paper presents a coordinated day-ahead and intra-day approach for the scheduling of the resources in a local energy community (LEC). The considered LEC consists of a collective of power prosumers that can directly trade energy with each other in addition to the external provider. The scheduling approach is based on the alternating...journal article 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Mouter, N. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)Energy communities are decentralized socio-technical systems where energy is jointly generated and distributed among a community of households locally. As the energy that is shared among the community is commonly electricity, the energy community's literature is dominated by electricity-systems and mostly neglects collective thermal energy as an...journal article 2022

Pelka, S. (author), Chappin, E.J.L. (author), Klobasa, M. (author), De Vries, Laurens (author)Household electricity use has an increasing impact on the overall energy system. Numerous proposals have been made to support households to consume electricity in a system-friendlier manner. By breaking these proposals down into functions and how they are performed, this paper identifies four distinctive governance designs: energy communities,...review 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Verkerk, D. (author), Nikolic, I. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author)Energy communities are gaining momentum in the context of the energy transition. Given the distributed and collective action nature of energy communities, energy security of these local energy systems is more than just security of supply and related to issues such as affordability and acceptability of energy to members of the community. We build...conference paper 2022

Fouladvand, J. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Sarı, Yasin (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Herder, P.M. (author)In community energy systems, the energy demand of a group of households is met by collectively generated electricity and heat from renewable energy sources. What makes these systems unique is their collective and collaborative form of organization and their distributed energy generation. While these features are crucial to the resilience of...journal article 2022
