Introduction to the SI
Energy Systems Modelling is growing in relevance on providing insights and strategies to plan a carbon-neutral future. The implementation of an effective energy transition plan faces multiple challenges, spanning from the integration of the operations of different energy carriers and sectors to the consideration of multiple spatial and temporal resolutions. Demand-side management has to be applied to multi-carrier energy system models lacks; prosumers is explored only in a limited manner; In General, multi-scale modelling frameworks should be established and considered both in the dimensions of time, space, technology and energy carrier; long term energy system models tend to address uncertainty scarcely; there is a lack of studies modelling uncertainties related to emerging technologies and; modelling of energy consumer behavior is one of the major aspect of future research. The increased pressure in decarbonizing the energy system has renewed the interest in energy system modelling, with several reviews trying to convey a comprehensive description of the utilized methodologies as well as providing new insights on how they can be used to answer new questions.
Recent Trends, Innovations and Sustainable Solutions for Next Gen Renewable Energy Systems provides comprehensive overview of available models as well as assessment techniques to analyze them. This special issue will arguably be responsible for evaluating three open-source modelling frameworks considering electricity, natural gas and district heating networks under five modelling criteria (modelling scope, model formulation, spatial coverage, time horizon and data) and three grid-specific modelling criteria (level of detail, spatial resolution and temporal resolution). Electricity needs to be balanced on a very short timescale, while natural gas transport is typically modelled on lower time resolution. Likewise, different energy carriers might be modelled using different spatial resolutions, depending on their geographical availability or consumption pattern. Uncertainty poses another major challenge in energy systems modelling. The different drivers affecting the supply and demand of energy carriers have uncertain developments over long time spans. Forecasts only offer a mild idea of how the future key parameters may unravel. Therefore, special attention needs to be put on including uncertainty in energy systems models if they are to be used in long-term policy-making and investment planning. This Special Issue will be a Key Reference for Students, Practitioners, Professionals, Scientists and Engineer – Researchers to improve industry competitiveness and to combat the challenges of implementation of Recent Trends, Innovations and Sustainable Solutions for Next Gen Renewable Energy Systems.
