Simulating thermal energy community formation: Institutional enablers outplaying technological choice

Javanshir Fouladvand et al.

Summary: The success of thermal energy communities depends more on surrounding institutional conditions rather than technology selection. Providing training and allocating subsidies based on degree of environmental friendliness are key factors influencing the formation processes. Balancing all decision-making criteria is crucial for all stakeholders.

Comparison of traditional with low temperature district heating systems based on organic Rankine cycle

Jaroslaw Mikielewicz et al.

Summary: This paper compares a traditional district heating system with a low-temperature DH system based on ORC technology. The results show that the ORC-based CHP system is more effective and fuel-efficient, leading to reduced carbon dioxide emissions. The most advantageous configuration is a combination of a central heat pump and a modern ORC-based station, which also provides independent electricity supply.

Energy self-consumers and renewable energy communities in Italy: New actors of the electric power systems

Maria Luisa Di Silvestre et al.

Summary: The new European Directive RED-II has introduced the concept of Renewable Energy Communities, potentially changing the relationships among end-users and other actors in the energy sector, particularly affecting the electrical sector. This new entity influences how end-users exchange energy with the power grid, connection rules, Demand Response implementation, and other energy management programs. Further investigation is needed to address issues for a complete implementation of Renewable Energy Communities in the power system, with a focus on the Italian context.

Fabian Dawo et al.

Summary: Achieving the 2050 EU climate targets relies on increasing the share of renewables and utilizing technologies like Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC). The development of new low-GWP refrigerants provides potential replacements for high-GWP refrigerants in energy systems. The interaction of refrigerants with lubricants plays a vital role in system performance.

Assessment of the urban circular economy in Sweden

Almas Heshmati et al.

Summary: This study proposes a general standard and estimates a multidimensional parametric index for evaluating the practices of a circular economy at the municipality level in Sweden. The results show significant differences in the circular economy index and its sub-components among municipalities, mainly attributed to regional location, population size and density, concentration of industries, and investment programs in circular economy's infrastructure.

An Integrated Approach to Risk and Impacts of Geo-Resources Exploration and Exploitation

Maria Vittoria Gargiulo et al.

Summary: Geo-resources are widely exploited for economic and community benefits, but come with risks and impacts that need to be understood and assessed. Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) and risk assessments (RAs) are commonly used methods, but are rarely combined. Combining these tools may provide a more comprehensive approach to decision making in environmental management.
