“…Shallow geothermal energy has experienced an increase of 52% over the last five years (from 2015 to 2020) at a rate of 8.73% annually [4]. A Ground Source Heat Exchanger (GSHE) equipped with a geothermal heat pump is a common type of air conditioning system that has a limited environmental impact-e.g., [4][5][6][7]. GSHE can be associated with a (i) vertical closed-loop system (borehole heat exchanger, BHE), or an (ii) open-loop system (groundwater heat exchanger, GWHE).…”

In this work we assessed the shallow geothermal heat-exchange potential of a fluvial plain of the Central Apennines, the lower Metauro Valley, where about 90,000 people live. Publicly available geognostic drilling data from the Italian Seismic Microzonation studies have been exploited together with hydrogeological and thermophysical properties of the main geological formations of the area. These data have been averaged over the firsts 100 m of subsoil to define the thermal conductivity, the specific heat extraction rates of the ground and to establish the geothermal potential of the area (expressed in MWh y−1). The investigation revealed that the heat-exchange potential is mainly controlled by the bedrock lithotypes and the saturated conditions of the sedimentary infill. A general increase in thermal conductivity, specific heat extraction and geothermal potential have been mapped moving from the coast, where higher sedimentary infill thicknesses have been found, towards the inland where the carbonate bedrock approaches the surface. The geothermal potential of the investigated lower Metauro Valley is mostly between ~9.0 and ~10 MWh y−1 and the average depth to be drilled to supply a standard domestic power demand of 4.0 kW is ~96 m (ranging from 82 to 125 m all over the valley). This investigation emphasizes that the Seismic Microzonation studies represent a huge database to be exploited for the best assessment of the shallow geothermal potential throughout the Italian regions, which can be addressed by the implementation of heating and cooling through vertical closed-loop borehole heat exchanger systems coupled with geothermal heat pumps.

Renewable technologies are technically viable and economically attractive; traditional energy technology receives many investment dollars. This study examines the integration of renewable energy sources using functions that associate emissions with power generation; traditional producing units can represent these emissions. The environment friendly design has become a significant concern in the first decade of the 21st century. As a result of climate change and a limited supply of traditional energy sources (fossil fuel), the world needs to take renewable energy seriously. Renewable sources of energy are derived from the energy flow that occurs naturally in a continual manner. Many people define renewability as the ability to regenerate at a rate equal to or faster than a given energy source's depletion rate. Currently, fossil fuels are used to meet most energy needs, which should be replaced in the future by cleaner energy sources, such as renewables or nuclear energy. Building integration systems aim to replace a building element with a solar panel array to boost the RES system's viability. Renewable energy sources can be used to lessen the use of fossil fuels when certain criteria are satisfied. The use of renewable energy sources in buildings has well-understood environmental and economic benefits in this study. By relying on sustainable sources of energy, we can save as much energy as feasible.

“…On the other hand, the worldwide environmental concerns to reduce carbon footprint is navigating the future of the energy sector toward sustainability. With the advent of microgrids (MGs), they have become the predominant initiative for widespread clean and renewable energy sources 1 . The decade has a long‐proven track record of MGs that has put forward a few significant technical challenges such as efficient control strategies, energy security, and protection against contingencies.…”

Summary The consumers' active participation in production and energy consumption in response to market changes is an integral characteristic of the smart grid paradigm. In other words, their role in energy trading, either at the individual capacity or as aggregators, will shape the future of fulfilling energy needs. Despite the foreseen technological advancements, the design and implementation of demand response programs (DRPs) with accurate customer responsiveness have remained essential for network operators. Moreover, with non‐dispatchable energy sources' involvement, DRPs play a vital role in shaping the load profile and minimizing the operating costs. It calls for a need to develop a suitable energy management system (EMS) to promote consumers' active participation. With this sense, the incentive‐based DRPs are incorporated into the microgrid EMS to investigate their impact on day‐ahead scheduling costs and managing consumers load profile. A stochastic‐based EMS framework is proposed to this end, and five distinct types of DRPs are implemented on a practical microgrid network, including commercial, industrial, and residential loads. The flexible price elasticity concept is adopted to model the realistic behavior of price responsive loads under different DRPs. Finally, the recently reported novel optimizer is employed to solve the proposed EMS problem and investigate the flexible price model's impact on optimizing the grid‐connected microgrid's daily operating costs. The obtained simulation results are compared with the existing state‐of‐the‐art metaheuristic optimizers to test the attributes related to solution efficiency and convergence rate.
