“…Internet of things devices allow for more detailed data analysis concerning current states of operation and energy consumption over time, which can be used in their optimization. A complete smart-integration of electric vehicle charging [6] and heat pumps [7] leads to flexibilitybusiness cases allowing users earn/save money. In addition to this, smart services are expected to increase the reliability of a network, reduce costs and minimize environmental impact [8].…”

Nowadays, citizens have greater opportunities to join energy cooperatives, participate in co-owned renewable energy production and take on the role of energy prosumers. However, smart services are usually designed to fulfill a number of technological criteria and ensure the resilience of the energy systems, rarely taking into account end user input in the process. This paper introduces methods to empower citizens in the design and use of smart services and gives an example from a Swiss case study.

“…According to [40], the most important policy tools for promoting electric vehicles are fiscal and infrastructure measures as well as financial incentives for the purchase and support of research and development projects. Research were then conducted on trends, policies, challenges and opportunities in the electric mobility sector in various Countries: Singapore [41], Germany [42,43], California [44,45], Qatar [46], Italy [47], Norway and Canada [48], Greece [49], Australia [50], France [51], Lithuania [52], Japan and South Korea [53], and Pakistan [54].…”

Electric Mobility in a Smart City: European Overview

According to the United Nations (UN), although cities occupy only 3% of Earth’s surface, they host more than half of the global population, are responsible for 70% of energy consumption, and 75% of carbon emissions. All this is a consequence of the massive urbanization verified since the 1950s and which is expected to continue in the coming decades. A crucial issue will therefore concern the management of existing cities and the planning of future ones, and this was also emphasized by the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), especially in Goal 11 (Sustainable Cities and communities). Smart Cities are often seen as ideal urban environments in which the different dimensions of a city (economy, education, energy, environment, etc.) are managed successfully and proactively. So, one of the most important challenges cities will have to face, is to guide citizens towards a form of “clean” energy consumption, and the dimension on which decision-makers will be able to work is the decarbonization of transport. To achieve this, electric mobility could help reduce polluting emissions on the road. Within this research, the strategies that six Smart Cities (London, Hamburg, Oslo, Milan, Florence, and Bologna) have implemented to encourage the transition to this form of mobility have been studied. Through a systematic review of the literature (Scopus, Google Scholar, and Web of Science) and through the study of the main political/energy documents of the cities, their policies on electric mobility have been evaluated. Then, for each city, SDG 11.6.2 was analyzed to assess the air quality in the last four years (2016–2019) and, therefore, the effectiveness of the policies. The analysis showed, in general, that the policies have worked, inducing reductions in the pollutants of PM2.5, PM10, NO2. In particular, the cities showed the most significant reduction in pollutant (above 20%) were Hamburg (−28% PM2.5 and −2%6 NO2), Milan (−25% PM2.5 and −52% NO2), and London (−26% NO2).

“…The potentials of Building Energy Management System (BEMS) is studied and documented regarding energy-saving [115] and environmental impact [116,117]. Energy flexibility is a crucial term coined to use the building for demand response [118][119][120]. Zhou and Cao [121] intended to study the energy flexibility of the storage systems of a ZEB with a combination of an electric vehicle, but the results showed that the system is already PEB.…”

A positive energy system that produces more renewable energy than its demand while ensuring appropriate comfort levels is an excellent path towards increasing the portion of renewable energy, reducing carbon emission, and increasing the energy system’s overall performance. In particular, it has been believed as step forward towards zero energy systems. Recent progress in positive energy building and community levels is gaining interest among different stakeholders. However, an inadequate understanding of the positive energy system is widely noticed in many projects, and a shortage of standard details on the positive energy system still prevails in the research community. Therefore, a state-of-the-art review of positive energy building and community is conducted in this paper. Firstly, this paper begins with the definitions and concepts of positive energy buildings and communities. Secondly, it comprehensively describes the energy supplies, demands, indicators, storage, energy management, roles of stakeholders, and bottlenecks of positive energy systems. Thirdly, the main differences between positive energy buildings and communities are summarized. Fourthly, the impact of smart energy grids and new energy vehicles on the positive energy buildings and communities is derived. As a conclusion, this paper shows that even though all the energy-efficient buildings such as passive buildings, nearly zero energy buildings, zero energy buildings, positive energy buildings look like an up-trending scale of renewable penetration, considerable differences are visible among all, and the same thing applies to the community level. Furthermore, considerable differences exist when comparing between positive buildings and communities regarding both the technical and economic perspectives.
