This paper presents a model-based design and techno-economic assessment of a BESS retrofitting a hybrid diesel-electric ferry. Two energy management strategies are evaluated: Strategy 2, which adds in-navigation recharging, achieves 17% ann…

Felix Nitsch

This paper presents agent-based modelling (ABM) of European electricity markets with high renewable shares. It analyzes the profitability of flexibility options like storage and discusses market design implications. Insights from developing…

Anderson, José Colaço de Freitas

This white paper analyzes how the decarbonization of structural materials (cement, steel, concrete) triggers a broader economic reorganization of the construction industry and the built environment. Drawing on international regulatory frame…

Kyril Kaufmann, Georgios Tsaousoglou

This paper analyzes how transmission network constraints affect the trade-off between economic cost and carbon emissions in power systems. Using a network-aware model, it reveals saturation effects and spatial asymmetries that are misrepres…

This study develops a structured replication methodology for Multi-Energy Systems (MES) on European islands, introducing a TOPSIS-based Replication Readiness Index (RRI) that quantifies both decarbonization potential and distributional just…

Changwei Wang, Chen Haihan, Chao Gao +3

This study proposes a multi-scale evaluation model to assess low-carbon technology readiness in advanced power grids. Validated across the Guangdong-Hong Kong-Macao Greater Bay Area, Greater Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and San Francisco Bay Ar…

Rasul Satymov, Dmitrii Bogdanov, Philipp Diesing +3

This study analyzes the energy-industry transition in Southeast Finland, where industry accounts for ~80% of final energy demand, aiming for 100% renewable energy by 2050. Despite massive baseload demand, levelised cost of electricity drops…

Zheni Antonova

This paper analyzes energy integration in the EU as an economic and institutional mechanism to accelerate the green transition. It assesses how deepening the internal energy market, cross-border infrastructure, and coordinated regulation fa…
