Review article on decentralized energy systems published
SusTec researchers have reviewed and compared decentralized energy systems both in literature and practice.
To fill the particular literature gap on decentralized energy systems, SusTec researchers conducted an extensive review of the current state of literature and practice. To do so, 64 publications and 56 projects were analyzed and an overview is provided using four criteria: terminology, scope/motivation, application, and technical configuration. These criteria facilitate the understanding of decentralized energy systems needed to spur their development and diffusion. Further advancements of research and practice are discussed. For example, technological learning hinges on a common terminology and on an identification of optimal technical configurations per application. In addition, this article will very soon be featured in the Download Advanced Science News - an interdisciplinary science news site promoting scientific findings to a broader audience with approximately 26,000 visitors per month.
