We are glad to inform you that our article entitled “A modular high-resolution demand-side management model to quantify benefits of demand-flexibility in the residential sector” has been published in the Energy Conversion and Management journal. Increasing shares of renewable energy sources and managing total demand are considered pivotal for energy transitions that fundamentally re-envisage the electricity system. A key challenge of such transitions is integrating and absorbing increased shares of non-dispatchable renewable energy sources, without jeopardizing the security and the reliability of the electricity system. To this end, key solutions include the introduction of demand-side management. However, so far, demand-side…

Mr. Vassilis Stavrakas, Research Associate of TEESlab, participated in the 14th Conference on Sustainable Development of Energy, Water and Environment Systems (SDEWES14) in Dubrovnik, presenting preliminary modeling outcomes on how the European solar market could develop in the future towards a decentralized electricity system. In particular, Mr. Stavrakas, in the context of the vision of a European decentralized electricity system, highlighted the importance of novel business models that will monetize the value of the technological infrastructure that could bring demand-flexibility into power markets. His presentation focused on the applicability of a transdisciplinary modeling framework that explores ways to couple small-scale…
