This paper employs regression discontinuity design to estimate the impact of heating modes on residents’ energy consumption, energy efficiency gap, and energy usage behavior, using the Chinese Residential Energy Consumption Survey (CRECS). We find that district heating increases total energy...

District heating can help to integrate renewable generation within the electricity domain and thus reach climate and energy goals by providing flexibility services and stabilizing the electricity grid. To determine the economic viability of such flexibility services, this work presents a...

In this study, the actual operation status of the cogeneration model was investigated to examine the difference between the theoretical evaluation and the field operation situation. The adequacy of the installed capacity of the cogeneration system was assessed by using in-house developed...
