As the plan for the building's sector energy transition proceeds, solutions of technology that exploit the primary resources available in each geographic location need to be advanced. In coastal regions, configurations such as heat pumps, which use nearby water as a heat sink to produce the necessary heating and cooling energy for the built environ...

Distributed energy systems (DES) are currently at the forefront of the energy transition. Their placement brings production closer to the demand side of urban and sub-urban environments, making optimal design a necessity. However, the complexity of accurately addressing the energy demands via DES has received increasing research attention. This is...

The transition to a carbon-reduced future for one of the most energy-intensive actors, the building sector, requires the development of appropriate tools and methods. One such approach is local energy communities (LECs), especially thermal LECs (TLECs), which provide a promising vector towards that transition. LECs exploit energy users as key actor...

Refrigeration systems claim increasing research attention as the climate crisis intensifies. One of the most well-established viable and feasible solutions is solar cooling, as the necessary cooling energy is produced by exploiting the available solar irradiance. The utilization of solar thermal energy to produce cooling energy by absorption chille...

One of the most crucial factors for energy transition and the incorporation of renewable energy sources into the existing energy map is citizen engagement. Local energy communities (LECs), which are cooperative-based coalitions aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the residential building sector, have received increasing attention in the past...

Με την ψήφιση του νόμου 4513/2018 και το ΦΕΚ 3154/Β/31-7-20, για τις ενεργειακές κοινότητες στην Ελλάδα, επιταχύνονται οι διαδικασίες ένταξης των αυτοπαραγωγών κοινοτήτων στην ενεργειακή αγορά. Στη παρούσα μελέτη, παρουσιάζεται μια πρώτη εκτίμηση της λειτουργίας του συστήματος παραγωγής θερμότητας της ενεργειακής κοινότητας των φοιτητικών εστιών τη...

Democritus University of Thrace (DUTh) has formed, under the European Project Renaissance (Renewable Integration & Sustainability in Energy Communities, HORIZON 2020, GA 824342), a virtual Renewable Energy Community (REC) in Greece located nearby Kimmeria at the northeast of the city of Xanthi, at the North-eastern Greece. The REC formed is the fir...

In recent years, the need for renewable and sustainable energy is greater than ever before. Wind turbines in a variety of sizes, appear in every available area and participate in our effort to reverse the energy crisis. However, these complex electromechan ical systems are defined by low availability and substantial downtime periods. The LCOEs and...
