“…Dorotic ́et al [18] propose a taxing system based on exergy destruction in heat-only boiler units, and Capone et al [19] propose a global optimization modeling approach with demand-side management for district heating customers. Several other previous papers add to these findings regarding development [20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36][37], expansion [38][39][40][41][42][43][44], and operation improvements [45][46][47][48][49][50] of smart energy grids.…”

Future district heating systems and technologies—also known as fourth-generation district heating—have a potentially important role to play in the green transition of societies. The implementation of fourth-generation district heating involves adjustments in the demand side to allow for low temperature supply. In order to facilitate such changes, district heating supply companies have in recent years introduced tariffs with penalties for high return temperatures and benefits for low return temperatures. This paper describes the case of a housing community of 17 buildings in their attempts to adjust to such tariffs as an integrated part of connecting to district heating. Replacing domestic hot water tanks with instantaneous heat exchangers and introducing smart meters resulted in abilities to lower the return temperature from around 40 °C to around 30 °C. However, the current design of the motivation tariffs does not yet fully compensate the consumers because the supply company provides unnecessarily high supply temperatures. Based on such efforts, this paper discusses the fairness and effectiveness of the tariffs and provides recommendations for improving them.

“…At a tied eight place, Østergaard and Coauthors [17] and Best and coauthors [18] review scientific literature on smart energy systems and fourth generation district heating and compare low-temperature and ultra-low-temperature district heating respectively. Lastly, in a tenth place, Østergaard and coauthors investigated desalination in Jordan [19] with a focus on efficiency gains from energy system integration, basing their work on EnergyPLAN simulations.…”

With this volume 40 the International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management can celebrate its 10 years anniversary. In this editorial we take a closer look at the journals impact over its first 10 years of existence and highlight the articles that have made the largest impacts in the scientific community from a citation perspective. The topic of the journal – sustainable energy planning and management – has not decreased in importance over the first ten years of the journal’s existence – and fortunately the results published in the journal has garnered interest and the impact of the journal has significantly increased. In terms of citation, the journals 275 published articles, has received 1484 citations as per March 2024 and nine articles have 40 or more citations in Scopus. CiteScore ranks the journal in the top 10% out of 700+ journals within the topic of Geography, Planning and Development.

“…One of the main conclusions is an underlining of the benefits of the waste heat -district heating combination [89]. Röder [90] , Trabert [49], Best [91], and Kersten [92] previously addressed different aspects of distruct heating integration and explansion in Germany. Lund [93] compared different low-temperature district heating concepts from a systems perspective.…”

This 38th volume of the International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management presents some of the newest work within in the energy planning, energy systems analyses and district heating area. Articles focus on multi objective optimisarion for a community in the Alps, carbon neutrality in Estonia, the prospects of heat pumps combined with thermal energy storage in maximising self-consumpotion from a photovoltaic field and methods for assessing district heating options. Other work focus on gamification tools for assessing energy efficiency measures, country analyses of economic and environmental indicators, the adaption of alternative fuel vehicles, and the use of waste heat sources for district heating.
