Eslamizadeh, S. (author)The transition to renewable energy sources affects all sectors of society, including the industrial sector. Besides climate policy ambitions and other concerns regarding the social and environmental acceptability of energy provision, the transition to renewables may also improve the availability and affordability of energy services. The latter...doctoral thesis 2023

Eslamizadeh, S. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)The importance of decreasing industrial CO2 footprints has become evident, as also highlighted in COP26. As such, the transition to renewable energy in the industrial sector is essential to meet the targets. To this aim, establishing industrial community energy systems (InCES) where industries collectively invest in a shared energy system is an...journal article 2023

Couraud, Benoit (author), Andoni, Merlinda (author), Robu, Valentin (author), Norbu, Sonam (author), Chen, Si (author), Flynn, David (author)The transition towards a more decarbonised, resilient and distributed energy system requires local initiatives, such as Smart Local Energy Systems (SLES), which lead communities to gain self-sufficiency and become electricity islands. Although many SLES projects have been recently deployed, only a few of them have managed to be successful,...journal article 2023

Melnyk, A. (author), Cox, H.R.L. (author), Ghorbani, Amineh (author), Hoppe, T. (author)In the European Union, energy democracy (ED) is considered a socially desirable policy goal. One way to achieve ED is through empowering local communities to become agents of value change who can pursue more sustainable and equitable energy provision with community energy initiatives (CEI). However, such people-driven value change is complex in...journal article 2023

Damond, Jori (author)As our electricity system becomes more complex, decentralized, and unstable, research on solutions to relieve the grid are needed. Local energy storage could contribute significantly to the solution. This study focused on one solution in particular: the neighborhood battery. Neighborhood batteries are emerging as a technical and social...master thesis 2022

Joshi, Ian (author)In a community energy project, batteries are the asset with the shortest lifespan and are therefore key contributors to cost. Understanding the influence of the battery state of health model on a control algorithm designed for redistribution of benefits in terms of financial gains in a community energy project can help elongate battery lifetime...bachelor thesis 2022

Li, N.L. (author)With the growing concerns over energy depletion and environmental protection all over the world, more and more attention is being paid to energy transition towards renewable energy sources (RESs), energy efficiency improvement, and CO$_2$ emission reduction. Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) emerge in the development of local energy...doctoral thesis 2022

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

Eslamizadeh, S. (author), Ghorbani, A. (author), Araghi, Y. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)Like many other sectors, climate change strategies have put various restrictions on industry, the most prominent one being caps on CO<sub>2</sub> and other energy-related emissions. At the same time, and especially in many developing economies, the industry struggles with an increasing gap between the fast development of the sector and...journal article 2022

Eslamizadeh, S. (author), Ghorbani, A. (author), Castelo Branco Ferreira Costa, R. (author), Kunneke, R.W. (author), Weijnen, M.P.C. (author)Considering that the industrial sector consumes almost one-third of the energy demand globally, it is an urgent call to reduce the carbon footprints in this sector. Among different approaches to meet this goal, such as the employment of carbon capture technologies and increasing energy efficiency within industries, transitioning to renewable...journal article 2022

Ogunleye, O.S. (author), Coenen, F. (author), Hoppe, T. (author)The need for improved energy security in Nigeria cannot be over-emphasized. Currently, energy security is rather poor, while access to energy is fundamental to socio-economic development and poverty alleviation. Renewable energy could potentially contribute to resolving this because renewable sources such as solar radiation are more available...journal article 2022

de Bruin, Bart de Bruin (author)The accessibility and affordability of small scale renewable energy sources cause a shift towards an decentralized energy system with distributed electricity generation. Together with the increased attention to responsible innovation, the polycentric development of multiple governing authorities gives room for social innovation. This empowers...master thesis 2021

Li, N.L. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) are a modern development of local energy systems by integrating distributed energy resources and local communities. Cost allocation is one of the key issues affecting the success of ICESs. Costs should be allocated to those who cause them, and benefits to those who make the investments. A well-designed...journal article 2021

Melnyk, A. (author), Singh, A. (author)This chapter claims that the global North’s vision of sustainable energy transition (SET), which informs policies and infrastructure developments, holds a partial account of diverse energy-related practices and associated values that are endemic to local communities. Referring to the EU directive, this chapter points towards the implicit bias...book chapter 2021

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

Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) are a good representative of local energy systems by integrating local distributed energy resources and local communities. It is proposed that costs should be allocated in a socially acceptable manner since there is no regulation in ICESs. In this paper, social acceptance is conceptualized from the...journal article 2021

Li, N.L. (author), Hakvoort, R.A. (author), Lukszo, Z. (author)Integrated community energy systems (ICESs) emerged in the reform of local energy systems during the energy transition. Cost allocation within an ICES is one of the key issues determining the success of ICESs. The costs should be allocated fairly among the members of a local energy community. However, not much research has been directed...review 2021

Ghorbani, A. (author), Nascimento, Leonardo (author), Filatova, Tatiana (author)Local energy initiatives (LEIs) are communities of households who self-organize to meet their energy demand with locally produced green energy. They facilitate citizen participation by developing context-specific solutions, which calls for leadership and complex social dynamics. We present an agent-based simulation model to explore the...journal article 2020

Warbroek, B. (author), Hoppe, T. (author), Bressers, H (author), Coenen, F. (author)Evidence from academic studies that analyze social and institutional factors that influence success with community energy projects is scarce. To address this, we pose the question: What are the social, organizational, and governance factors that explain success with ‘local low-carbon energy initiatives’ (LLCEIs)? To answer this question, claims...journal article 2019
