Energy systems across the globe are going through a radical transformation as a result of technological and institutional changes, depletion of fossil fuel resources, and climate change. At the local level, increasing distributed energy resources requires that the centralized energy systems be re-organized. In this paper, the concept of Integrated Community Energy Systems (ICESs) is presented as a modern development to re-organize local energy systems to integrate distributed energy resources and engage local communities. Local energy systems such as ICESs not only ensure self-provision of energy but also provide essential system services to the larger energy system. In this regard, a comparison of different energy system integration option is provided. We review the current energy trends and the associated technological, socio-economic, environmental and institutional issues shaping the development of ICESs. These systems can be applied to both developed and developing countries, however, their objectives, business models as well as composition differs. ICESs can be accepted by different actors such as local governments, communities, energy suppliers and system operators as an effective means to achieve sustainability and thereby will have significant roles in future energy systems.

“…A district energy system should be designed on technical, economic and environmental aspects (Rezaie and Rosen, 2012) and should have potential for contributing to decarbonization (Connolly et al, 2014). Various sources and technologies can be used in district energy, such as waste heat (Holmgren, 2006), CHP (Torchio et al, 2009), and absorption cooling (Fahlén et al, 2012). Regional market and economic analysis were also conducted in Cluster 2.…”

The design of energy systems has become an issue of worldwide interest. A single optimal energy system cannot be suggested because the availability of infrastructure and resources, and the acceptability of the system should be discussed locally with the involvement of all related stakeholders. A simulation-based approach is strongly needed for such a purpose. In this paper, the current major trends are reviewed on research activities related to smart energy systems. First, a bibliometric analysis of academic papers was conducted with the aim of visualizing clusters that indicate the hot topics attributable to smart energy systems. Considering the extracted research topics and representative references that are the core of each cluster, possible simulation-based approaches for the design of smart energy system are schematically structured on the basis of social, economic, and technological aspects. Through this study, the framework needed for the design of smart energy systems is characterized with simulation-based socioeconomic and technological analyses.

Waste is widely used as a fuel in the Swedish district heating (DH) systems, thereby linking waste management and the energy system. This paper summarizes earlier studies by the author on the role of waste as a fuel in DH systems. The method used is case studies of three Swedish municipalities that utilise waste in their DH systems. Economic optimisations of the DH systems are made using the linear programming model MODEST, and environmental effects in terms of carbon dioxide emissions are assessed. It is economically advantageous to use waste as a fuel due to regulations in the waste management sector and high taxes on fossil fuels. There can be a conflict between combined heat and power (CHP) production in DH systems and waste incineration, since the latter can remove the heat sink for other CHP plants in combination with low electrical efficiency in waste incineration plants. CHP is the main measure to decrease carbon dioxide emissions in DH systems on the assumption that locally produced electricity replaces electricity in coal condensing plants. It can be difficult to design policy instruments for waste incineration due to conflicting goals for waste management and energy systems. To put costs on environmental effects, so called external costs, is one way to include them but the method has drawbacks, for example the limited range of environmental effects included. Comparing the energy efficiency of material recovery and energy recovery from waste incineration is one way to assess the resource efficiency of the waste treatment methods.
