While progress in reducing greenhouse gas emissions is notable in the power sector, other sectors such as transportation and often heating are lagging behind. A strategy to propagate greenhouse gas emission reductions from the power sector to other sectors is so-called "sector coupling." Against...

Assessing the effects of the energy transition and liberalization of energy markets on resource adequacy is an increasingly important and demanding task. The rising complexity of energy systems requires adequate methods for energy system modeling leading to increased computational requirements....

Accurate forecast of electricity load are increasingly important. We present a method to forecast long-term weather-dependent hourly electricity load using artificial neural networks. The fully connected dense artificial neural networks with 5 hidden layers and 1,024 hidden nodes per layer are...

In response to the challenges posed by an increasingly decentralized energy system characterized by a high penetration of renewable energy sources, grid operators are experiencing heightened pressure to effectively manage grid congestion. Concurrently, both the European Union as well as the...

With the growth of wind and solar energy in electricity supply, the electrification of space heating is becoming a promising decarbonization option. In turn, such electrification may help the power system integration of variable renewables, for two reasons: thermal storage could provide low-cost...

Fifth-generation district heating and cooling (5GDHC) is one of the latest trends in the energy transition of the heating sector. These networks are characterized by low temperature levels of 5–40 °C, and they use distributed heat pumps and compression chillers to obtain the required...
