Interruptions in electricity supply – ‘the lights going out’ – make for arresting headlines and capture public attention. Yet it is strikingly rare for any kind of electricity generation shortfall to trigger blackouts: major reliability events are nearly always the result of grid failure incidents such as wires frying or being damaged by trees. Further...
在全世界范围内，政策制定者都面临着在电网减碳的大前提下维持电力系统可靠性的难题。当下，随着新技术的诞生和学界及业界对低碳系统的理解加深，电网减碳从电力系统的负担转化为其不可多得的机遇，然而，如何抓住这些机遇来实现电力系统转型仍有一些挑战。各国�...
The future of heat in buildings is not fossil fuelled. The urgency of the climate crisis, Europe’s 2030 climate targets, the current war in Ukraine and the resulting skyrocketing energy prices all mean we need to massively accelerate efforts to move away from burning fossil fuels in our homes. This is no small task as fossil fuels currently account for over 75%...
Heat pumps are widely recognised as the key technology to decarbonise building heat demand in Ireland. To receive grants for heat pumps, homeowners in Ireland are required to have a heat demand per unit of floor area, known as a ‘heat loss indicator’ (HLI), below a certain level. The HLI requirement was designed to protect households from high bills if they s...
Electric utility regulators are paying closer attention than ever before to individual distribution system investment decisions, in part because of the rapid growth in distributed energy resources and the need for new grid modernization investments. To achieve the best outcomes for ratepayers and society, regulators need robust and comprehensive tools for eval...

W ciągu ostatnich dwóch lat Polska znacząco przyspieszyła transformację systemów ogrzewania w budownictwie jednorodzinnym, zwłaszcza jeśli chodzi o rozwój pomp ciepła. Postęp ten zawdzięcza silnemu wsparciu politycznemu w zakresie wycofywania węgla do ogrzewania indywidualnego. Jednak zależność Polski od paliw kopalnych w ogrzewaniu jest nadal bar...
在世界范围，分时电价机制正在逐渐普及。时至今日，大部分国家的分时电价都是根据使用时间，将发电相关成本分摊到不同的时间段中，同时在各个时间平均分摊电网相关成本。本文的主题是将分时电价机制的概念延展到配电系统定价中。 最近，一些国家和地区已经开始�...
