Most-cited papers in Smart Energy

EnergyPLAN – Advanced analysis of smart energy systems

Henrik Lund, Jakob Zinck Thellufsen, Poul Alberg Østergaard et al. · 1 Feb 2021

EnergyPLAN is an energy system analysis tool created for the study and research in the design of future sustainable energy solutions with a special focus on energy systems with high shares of renewable energy sources. It has been under development since 1999 and has formed the basis for a substantial number of PhD theses and…

Energy efficient decarbonisation strategy for the Danish transport sector by 2045

Mikkel Strunge Kany, Brian Vad Mathiesen, Iva Ridjan Skov et al. · 19 Jan 2022

The transport sector contributes to approximately one third of Danish greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and almost half of emissions from the energy sector. A unified Danish parliament agreed to reduce total emissions with 70% compared to 1990 levels by 2030. This paper estimates the potential for reducing the national transport sector GHG emissions in 2030…

Green hydrogen production: Integrating environmental and social criteria to ensure sustainability

Marina Blohm, Franziska Dettner · 12 Jul 2023

Hydrogen is experiencing an unprecedented global hype. Hydrogen is globally discussed as a possible future energy carrier and regarded as the urgently needed building block for the much needed carbon-neutral energy transition of hard-to-abate sectors to mitigate the effects of global warming. This article provides synthesised, measurable sustainability criteria for analysing green hydrogen production proposals…

The role of biomass gasification in low-carbon energy and transport systems

Andrei David Korberg, Brian Vad Mathiesen, Lasse Røngaard Clausen et al. · 1 Feb 2021

The design of future energy systems requires the efficient use of all available renewable resources. Biomass can complement variable renewable energy sources by ensuring energy system flexibility and providing a reliable feedstock to produce renewable fuels. We identify biomass gasification suitable to utilise the limited biomass resources efficiently. In this study, we inquire about its…

The pure PV-EV energy system – A conceptual study of a nationwide energy system based solely on photovoltaics and electric vehicles

Tobias Boström, Bilal Babar, Jonas Berg Hansen et al. · 1 Feb 2021

The objective of this conceptual study is to reveal the substantial potential and synergy of solar energy and electric vehicles (EVs) working together. This potential is demonstrated by studying the feasibility of a nationwide energy system solely reliant on solar energy and EVs. Photovoltaic (PV) solar energy is already an important energy source globally, but…
