“…Meanwhile, Raffaele Carli and Mariagrazia Dotoli and João Figueiredo and José Sá da Costa also presented some interesting research results in "Cooperative Distributed Control for the Energy Scheduling of Smart Homes with Shared Energy Storage and Renewable Energy Source [25]" and "A SCADA system for energy management in intelligent buildings [26]," respectively. Oslo City's successful sustainable energy transition based on some innovative ideas and technological developments is well-described by Lind and Espegren [27], who studied all sorts of In the PLC signal range of 9-500 kHz, however, the noise level will increase as the signals have to go through the distribution transformer and capacitor banks. The G3-PLC standard system [18], which exhibits a higher data transfer rate and high-speed, long-range communication capability on a power line, also undergoes the same process.…”

Since power line communication (PLC) technology has been considered a platform technology for smart metering, this study introduces an analogous system technology for the PLC-based monitoring systems in zero energy building management. This technology allows a system operator or an operation center to monitor, calculate, or manage power use remotely through the existing power line so that individual suppliers will be able to grasp the present condition of power use and respond to any unexpected incidents. As in any country, many old buildings in Korea are repaired to be used for 40–50 years or even longer since constructing new ones is expensive. Because remodeling old buildings is not only expensive but also generates construction waste, repairing is the preferred alternative in many cases. With the expectation that the proposed platform technology will be one of the promising technologies for sustainable building, its uninterrupted power usage monitoring and remote power control/management functions will be quite useful for economizing power with convenience. A system with such a PLC-based design and algorithm can be quite scalable as well. As the major contribution of this study, a solution suitable for decrepit buildings or apartments has been developed by using the PLC technology, and the test bed experiment was conducted for it. The result showed that the solution worked flexibly and efficiently. Since it is impossible to install a new network especially in the case of decrepit buildings, PLC must be used through the existing power line. Thus, a decrepit building monitoring system has been proposed in this study for a sustainable building. The proposed solution was simulated with OPNET simulation first. Following the mounting of the actual PLC product and development of a monitoring application to complete the platform/solution, it is being tested at the test bed in a decrepit building.

“…This is especially true for long-term scenario analysis, where the slow changes in the urban structure, which usually involve a long time span, become feasible and open for policy discussion. Several energy system models have been developed for specific cities to support integrated energy and transport analysis such as for Malmø [80], Oslo [81] and the Helsinki region ( [16], p. 232). Other studies differentiate between urban and non-urban transportation in national E4 models.…”

Energy Scenario Analysis for the Nordic Transport Sector: A Critical Review

et al. 2019

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Experiencing the highest growth in emissions since 1990 and relying mainly on oil, transport is considered the most complicated sector to decarbonize. Lately, the Nordic countries have shown remarkable success in reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, especially in the power and heat sector. However, when it comes to transportation, the greatest source of Nordic GHG emissions, stronger measures are needed. Relying on a rich and diversified portfolio of renewable sources and expertise, the Nordic countries could benefit from a common mitigation strategy by encompassing a larger variety of solutions and potential synergies. This article reviews studies addressing integrated energy and transport scenario analysis for the Nordic region as a whole. The studies targeted are those applying energy system models, given their extensive adoption in supporting scenario analysis. Most notable of these studies is the “Nordic Energy Technology Perspectives 2016” to which a special focus is dedicated. The article reviews the methodological choices and the research content of the selected literature. Challenges/limitations are identified in light of recent transport research, and categorized as: “transport behavior”, “breakthrough technologies”, “domestic energy resources” and “geographical aggregation and system boundaries”. Lastly, a list of suggestions to tackle the identified gaps is provided based on the existing literature.

“…For example, Emodi et al (2017) [21] explored Nigeria's future energy demand, supply and associated GHG emissions from 2010 to 2040 by using the Long-range Energy Alternative Planning (LEAP) model. Linda and Espegren (2017) [22] analysed how various energy and climate measures can transform Oslo into a low-carbon city by employing a technology-rich optimisation model. Zhao et al (2017) [23] presented a study on the energy system modelling towards renewable energy and low carbon development for Beijing by using the EnergyPLAN tool.…”

CO 2 emission resulted from fossil energy use is threatening human sustainability globally. This study focuses on the low-carbon transition of Hebei's coal-dominated energy system by estimating its total end-use energy consumption, primary energy supply and resultant CO 2 emission up to 2030, by employing an energy demand analysis model based on setting of the economic growth rate, industrial structure, industry/sector energy consumption intensity, energy supply structure, and CO 2 emission factor. It is found that the total primary energy consumption in Hebei will be 471 and 431 million tons of coal equivalent (tce) in 2030 in our two defined scenarios (conventional development scenario and coordinated development scenario), which are 1.40 and 1.28 times of the level in 2015, respectively. The resultant full-chain CO 2 emission will be 1027 and 916 million tons in 2030 in the two scenarios, which are 1.24 and 1.10 times of the level in 2015, respectively. The full-chain CO 2 emission will peak in about 2025. It is found that the coal-dominated situation of energy structure and CO 2 emission increasing trend in Hebei can be changed in the future in the coordinated development scenario, in which Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area coordinated development strategy will be strengthened. The energy structure of Hebei can be optimised since the proportion of coal in total primary energy consumption can fall from around 80% in 2015 to below 30% in 2030 and the proportions of transferred electricity, natural gas, nuclear energy and renewable energy can increase rapidly. Some specific additional policy instruments are also suggested to support the low-carbon transition of energy system in Hebei under the framework of the coordinated development of Beijing-Tianjin-Hebei area, and with the support from the central government of China.
