Flexibly coupling power and heat sectors may contribute to both renewable energy integration and decarbonization. We present a literature review of modelbased analyses in this field, focusing on residential heating. We compare geographical and temporal research scopes and identify...

We quantify the cost savings potential of photovoltaic self-consumption by single-family houses with small-scale roof-top photovoltaic (PV) systems in Germany against the background of recent storage applications after the end of the legal support period. We analyze different systems where an...

Im Kontext der Energiewende stellt sich die Frage, ob elektrische Speicherheizungen einen Beitrag zur verstärkten Nutzung der fluktuierenden Wind- und Solarenergie und zur Emissionsminderung im Raumwärmebereich leisten können. Im Rahmen eines europäischen Forschungsprojekts wurde am DIW...

The penetration of distributed generation, energy storages and smart loads has resulted in the emergence of prosumers: entities capable of adjusting their electricity production and consumption in order to meet environmental goals and to participate profitably in the available electricity...

The People's Republic of China (PRC) has taken bold actions since 2016 to utilize low-grade industrial excess heat to improve the energy efficiency of district heating systems. This study aims to draw policy insights into the PRC's field experience of overcoming barriers to energy efficiency...
