Quantification of Non-linearities in the Consequential Life Cycle Assessment of the Use Phase of Battery Electric Vehicles
The diffusion of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) is projected to influence the electricity grid operation, potentially offering opportunities for load-shifting policies aimed at higher integration of renewable energy technologies in the electricity system. Moreover, the examined literature emphasizes electricity as … Continue reading
Decarbonizing the transport sector: the Promethean responsibility of Nicaragua
The transport sector is the second-largest energy consumer in Nicaragua, and it relies solely on oil derivatives. It is growing at an unsustainable rate and Nicaragua must explore alternative transport pathways to decarbonize this sector. This study developed 5 scenarios … Continue reading
The Impacts of High V2G Participation in a 100% Renewable Åland Energy System
A 100% renewable energy (RE) scenario featuring high participation in vehicle-to-grid (V2G) services was developed for the Åland islands for 2030 using the EnergyPLAN modelling tool. Hourly data was analysed to determine the roles of various energy storage solutions, notably … Continue reading
Copenhagen Energy Vision: A sustainable vision for bringing a Capital to 100% renewable energy
The short-term goal for The City of Copenhagen is a CO2 neutral energy supply by the year 2025, and the long-term vision for Denmark is a 100% renewable energy (RE) supply by the year 2050. In this project, it is … Continue reading
Samsø Energy Vision 2030 – Converting Samsø to 100% Renewable Energy

Integration of renewable energy into the transport and electricity sectors through V2G (2008)
Link to the Journal Paper Large-scale sustainable energy systems will be necessary for substantial reduction of CO2. However, large-scale implementation faces two major problems: (1) we must replace oil in the transportation sector, and (2) since today’s inexpensive and abundant … Continue reading
Large-scale integration of wind power into different energy systems (2005)
The paper presents the ability of different energy systems and regulation strategies to integrate wind power. The ability is expressed by the following three factors: the degree of electricity excess production caused by fluctuations in wind and Combined Heat and … Continue reading
