Heat Roadmap Europe 4 (HRE4)
The goal of Heat Roadmap Europe 4 (HRE4) is to develop low-carbon heating and cooling strategies, called Heat Roadmaps, by quantifying and implementing changes at the national level for 14 EU Member States, which together account for approximately 85-90% of total … Continue reading
Vision and initial feasibility analysis of a recarbonised Finnish energy system for 2050
Download the models Link to supplementary materials An energy system based entirely on renewable energy (RE) is possible for Finland in 2050 based on the assumptions in this study. High shares of solar PV (photovoltaics) were deemed to be feasible … Continue reading
Future Green Buildings
The report “Future Green Buildings – A key to Cost-Effective Sustainable Energy Systems” describes the contribution and role of the building sector in a 100% renewable energy future, as well as the transitions that are necessary in the building sector to support this change. You … Continue reading
IDA’s Energy Vision 2050: A Smart Energy System strategy for 100% renewable Denmark
IDA’s Energy Vision 2050 provides a Smart Energy System strategy for a 100% renewable Denmark in 2050. The vision presented should not be regarded as the only option in 2050 but as one scenario out of several possibilities. You can … Continue reading

Heat Roadmap Europe 3 (STRATEGO): Translating the Heat Roadmap Europe Methodology to Member State Level Link to the Reports and Maps Heat Roadmap Europe 3 is from work package 2 of the STRATEGO project (http://stratego-project.eu/). It quantifies the impact of implementing … Continue reading
The Role of the Latvian District Heating System in the Development of Sustainable Energy Supply
Link to the Journal Paper The aim of the study is to determine whether and to what extent it is possible to use excess electricity produced by wind power plants during low demand periods for district heat production by heat … Continue reading
Modelling of energy systems with a high percentage of CHP and wind power (2003)
Link to the Journal Paper This paper presents the energy system analysis model EnergyPLAN, which has been used to analyse the integration of large scale wind power into the national Danish electricity system. The main purpose of the EnergyPLAN model … Continue reading
Management of fluctuations in wind power and CHP comparing two possible Danish strategies (2002)
Link to the Journal Paper Both CHP (combined heat and power production) and wind power are important elements of Danish energy policy. Today, approximately 50% of both the Danish electricity and heat demand are produced in CHP and more than … Continue reading
Energy efficiency analysis and impact evaluation of the application of thermoelectric power cycle to today’s CHP systems (2010)
Link to the Journal Paper High efficiency thermoelectric generators (TEG) can recover waste heat from both industrial and private sectors. Thus, the development and deployment of TEG may represent one of the main drives for technological change and fuel substitution. … Continue reading
Optimal designs of small CHP plants in a market with fluctuating electricity prices (2005)
Combined Heat and Power production (CHP) are essential for implementation of the climate change response objectives in many countries. In an introduction period, small CHP plants have typically been offered fixed electricity prices, but in many countries, such pricing conditions … Continue reading
