TL;DR: In this article, the authors present the development and design of coherent smart energy systems as an integrated part of achieving future 100% renewable energy and transport solutions, which can potentially pave the way to a bioenergy-free, renewable energy- and transport system.

TL;DR: In this article, six different strategies have been proposed for the European Union (EU) energy system in the European Commission's report, Energy Roadmap 2050, the objective for these strategies is to ide...

TL;DR: The Smart Energy System concept represents a scientific shift in paradigms away from single-sector thinking to a coherent energy systems understanding on how to benefit from the integration of all sectors and infrastructures.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors argue that the long-term relevant systems are those in which such measures are combined with energy conservation and system efficiency improvements, and emphasize the inclusion of flexible CHP production in the electricity balancing and grid stabilisation.

TL;DR: It is quantified how benefits exceed costs by a safe margin with the benefits of systems integration being the most important.
