Conceptualizing community in energy systems: A systematic review of 183 definitions
Thomas Bauwens,Daan Schraven,Emily Drewing,Jörg Radtke,Lars Holstenkamp,Boris Gotchev,Özgür Yildiz +6 more
TL;DR: This article analyzed how the term of community is conceptualized in the scholarly literature on energy systems, through a systematic review of 405 articles and found that the meanings attached to the notion of community and the alleged objectives pursued by communities vary substantially across concepts and over time.
Journal ArticleDOI
Renewable Energy Communities business models under the 2020 Italian regulation
TL;DR: In this article, a multicriteria optimisation procedure was developed by evaluating two independent and normalised key performance indices: self consumption and self sufficiency of the energy community, evaluated on a hourly based energy balance by minimising the power flow to/from the electrical grid through a Mixed Integer Linear Programming scheme.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal dispatching strategy and real-time pricing for multi-regional integrated energy systems based on demand response
Guanxiu Yuan,Yan Gao,Bei Ye +2 more
TL;DR: The results show that the proposed bilevel model under the RTP is conducive to social economy and environment.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal sizing of energy communities with fair revenue sharing and exit clauses: Value, role and business model of aggregators and users
TL;DR: A business model for aggregators of ECs, and its optimization problem, is proposed, and a methodology and preliminary results that can help policy makers and developers in tailoring national-level policies and market-offerings are provided.
Journal ArticleDOI
Optimal Energy Management of Cooperative Energy Communities considering Flexible Demand, Storage and Vehicle-to-Grid under Uncertainties
TL;DR: In this article , a stochastic-interval model is proposed to handle with uncertainties from demand, renewable generation, vehicles' behaviour and energy pricing, and a case study is performed on a six-prosumer community.

Blockchain technology in the energy sector: A systematic review of challenges and opportunities
Merlinda Andoni,Valentin Robu,David Flynn,Simone Abram,Dale Geach,David Jenkins,Peter McCallum,Andrew Peacock +7 more
TL;DR: This work provides a comprehensive overview of fundamental principles that underpin blockchain technologies, such as system architectures and distributed consensus algorithms, and discusses opportunities, potential challenges and limitations for a number of use cases, ranging from emerging peer-to-peer energy trading and Internet of Things applications, to decentralised marketplaces, electric vehicle charging and e-mobility.
Journal ArticleDOI
Smart energy and smart energy systems
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
Measuring energy poverty: Focusing on what matters
TL;DR: The Multidimensional Energy Poverty Index (MEPI) as mentioned in this paper was proposed to measure the deprivation of access to modern energy services in Africa, and it captures both the incidence and intensity of energy poverty and provides a new tool to support policy-making.

A thousand flowers blooming? An examination of community energy in the UK
TL;DR: In this paper, the objectives, origins and development of these groups across the UK, their activities and their networking activities as a sector, along with the opportunities and threats presented by wider socioeconomic and political contexts, are examined.
Journal ArticleDOI
A review of urban energy system models: Approaches, challenges and opportunities
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors propose a theoretical definition of an urban energy system model and then evaluate the state of current practice in energy system modeling, focusing on the potential of sensitivity analysis and cloud computing, data collection and integration techniques, and the use of activity-based modelling as an integrating framework.
