“…The massive growth in demand forecasts, estimated by various sources, puts the potentially largest and most significant energy market in the world on track for a massive increase in energy demand over the next few decades. Primary energy demand will rise to 2.1 billion tons by 2020, which will increase global electricity production to about one-third of total global energy consumption by 2030 [26,27]. This estimate has been confirmed to represent about one-fifth of total global spending and is at the forefront of potentially the most ambitious energy growth forecasts in recent years [28].…”

This research tackles effective and functional management practices in energy consumption using advanced technological solutions to mitigate unexpected events. This study specifically focuses on the recent COVID-19 pandemic that led to a reduction in energy consumption and therefore meddled with the project management’s status quo for the energy sources. Moreover, this research analyzes the role of information and communication technology (ICT) solutions in energy management before and after the recent coronavirus pandemic turmoil. This study also examined the role and place of sustainable energy resources in the effective management of energy consumption during the COVID-19 pandemic. The main purpose of this research is to demonstrate how the recent coronavirus pandemic affected energy consumption and energy prices in many countries and how it paved the way for the new ICT in managing energy consumption. This study elaborated a model to show how these changes evolved in selected European Union (EU) Member States. It turns out that adjusted electricity consumption, as well as the average daily spot electricity prices for the baseload power in the EU countries, declined, and this trend is likely to continue in the next years to come. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, substantial changes in the economy led to reduced office space usage, cutting commuting and business trips, and bringing commercial travel almost to a halt, further shifting the energy balance towards renewable energy sources (RES). Besides, it becomes apparent that ICT solutions used in maintaining and superintending the energy balance are gaining popularity and wide recognition worldwide and will help pave the way towards modern and smart high-renewables grids.

“…However, the setting of each parameter is different. KF EH−PHTES 2 is chosen to replace KF in Equation (2). At the same time, it is assumed that the heat network medium temperature flowing into the HEX is consistent with the temperature of the HES return pipe connected to the secondary heat network.…”

Distributed Thermal Energy Storage Configuration of an Urban Electric and Heat Integrated Energy System Considering Medium Temperature Characteristics

et al. 2021

Distributed thermal energy storage (DTES) provides specific opportunities to realize the sustainable and economic operation of urban electric heat integrated energy systems (UEHIES). However, the construction of the theory of the model and the configuration method of thermal storage for distributed application are still challenging. This paper analyzes the heat absorption and release process between the DTES internal heat storage medium and the heat network transfer medium, refines the relationship between heat transfer power and temperature characteristics, and establishes a water thermal energy storage and electric heater phase change thermal energy storage model, considering medium temperature characteristics. Combined with the temperature transmission delay characteristics of a heat network, a two-stage optimal configuration model of DTES for UEHIES is proposed. The results show that considering the temperature characteristics in the configuration method can accurately reflect the performance of DTES, enhance wind power utilization, improve the operation efficiency of energy equipment, and reduce the cost of the system.

“…Such ongoing development requires an abundant supply of energy to compensate residential, industrial and commercial energy needs. Global primary energy consumption reached to 580 EJ in 2018 and from past 40 years, its signi cant portion was covered by fossil fuels which led towards unmanageable CO 2 emission increment, which was up to 33.7 bn tons in 2018 [1]. These detrimental environmental consequences give rise to the use of renewable energy sources (RES).…”

Background: Significant innovations in technology and progressing use of renewable energy sources (RES) reinforce the demand for the sustainable, continuous and abundant supply of energy to every consumer. Blockchain, as an emerging technology promises to provide temper proof, secure, transparent and decentralized energy trading mechanisms that help to provide sustainable environmental solutions by circulating economy to empower both consumers and prosumers. The rapid development of blockchain technology has gained interest from energy start-ups, innovation developers, finance suppliers, academic institutions and government. Results: This study outlines potential significance, benefits and application of blockchain technology and analyses how Pakistan can integrate blockchain technology into its distribution system to cope with current challenges. Although the substantial renewable potential of Pakistan is an opportunity to implement blockchain technology but financial management, innovative technology development and acceptance of decentralized technology are the biggest obstacles. After a detailed discussion of Pakistan's current financial position, digital market structure, energy policy and technology situation for the implication of blockchain technology, Photographic Geographical Information System (PVGIS-5) data base tool is used to estimate solar power generation capacity from prosumer community in potential areas of country like Baluchistan. Conclusion: This study recommended feasible site for solar power generation according to PVGIS tool. Then introduces a street scenario about domestic power generation and blockchain based distribution into Pakistan's energy sector like Brooklyn energy system by regulating laws, revising energy polices and suitable development subsidies.
