“…However, Serbia is energy dependent on imports as 30% of its energy demand is met by purchasing from foreign markets, a reason sound enough to direct more investments into energy efficiency increase [6]. Serbia's thermal power plants are among the biggest polluters in Europe and the only question remaining is how to stimulate the substitution of these plants by new ones which produce electricity from renewable sources [7]. New Energy law passed in 2021 in the Republic of Serbia, for the first time actively emphasizes the importance of renewable energy sources, by introducing the role of prosumers.…”

Volatile energy prices in the past period, force countries and their market participants to find alternative and cheaper sources of electricity production, while respecting defined environmental principles. Serbia is one of the rare European countries that uses its reserves of dissolved gas in the heat and electricity production. Combined heat and power plants, although in an almost negligible amount, contribute to the diversification of Serbia's production mix. With the presence of organized markets and local power exchanges, sale of electricity from combined heat and power plants is guaranteed for all producers who do not meet the conditions for acquiring the right to feed-in tariffs. The aim of this paper is to analyze the most profitable sale on the power exchanges of the domestic market and the region, specifically the markets of Serbia, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, and Bulgaria. The calculation methodology itself implies the use of average monthly price value for the observed markets, in the period of the past three years and nine months. In addition to the aforementioned, the costs of cross-border capacities were considered. In order to have a clearer overview of the results and the possibility of applying the methodology, the amount for calculation is 1 MWh. Costs and revenues related to negative and positive balance energy deviations are excluded from the analysis. Results showed that sale of electricity is most profitable on Serbian power exchange.

“…The heat sector is the first one to be considered in SEP, particularly exploiting flexibilities in the heat storage of CHP [64,148,154]. A joint power-heat SEP has become more relevant with time [67,134,135,143,151,153,156,158,159]. For example, down to the level of individual buildings, there are clear examples of ESS able to support DSM mechanisms and to provide flexibility.…”

Expansion planning models are often used to support investment decisions in the power sector. Towards the massive insertion of renewable energy sources, expansion planning of energy storage systems (SEP-Storage Expansion Planning) is becoming more popular. However, to date, there is no clear overview of the available SEP models in the literature. To shed light on the existing approaches, this review paper presents a broad classification of SEP, which is used to analyze a database of about 90 publications to identify trends and challenges. The trends we found are that while SEP was born more than four decades ago, only in the last five years increasing research efforts were put into the topic. The planning has evolved from adequacy criteria to broader targets, such as direct costs, mitigation of CO2 emissions, and renewable integration. The modeling of the network, power system, energy storage systems (ESS), and time resolution are becoming more detailed. Uncertainty is often considered and the solution methods are still very diverse. As outstanding challenges, we found that (1) the large diversity of ESS, in contrast to conventional generation technologies, and (2) the complex lifetime and efficiency functions need to be addressed in the models. (3) Only a high temporal and spatial resolution will allow for dimensioning the challenge of integrating renewables and the role of ESS. (4) Although the value of ESS lies beyond shifting energy in time, current SEP is mostly blind to other system services. (5) Today, many flexibility options are available, but they are often assessed separately. In the same line, although cross-sectorial (power, heat, transport, water) SEP is becoming more frequent, there are many open tasks towards an integrated coordination. The planning of future energy systems will be multi-sectorial and multi-objective, consider the multi-services of ESS, and will inherently require interdisciplinary efforts.

“…Choice of actions and measures for reduction of CO 2 and implementation of renewables was analysed in [24] and new methodology for selection of ac-tions is proposed in [25]. Penetration of more renewables could be increased with the implementation of smart grid technology similar to one described in [26]. One of the key measures that are implemented in all municipalities is the replacement of public lightning and it is recommended to follow the methodology developed in [27] when dealing with this measure.…”

Integrating sustainable energy action plans for island municipalities: Case study of Korcula

The goal of the European Union is to reduce CO 2 emissions by 20% till 2020. This objective is transferred to municipalities through the Covenant of Mayors initiative which was established by the European Commission in 2008. In line with this, this paper presents an integration of Sustainable Energy Action Plans on the Croatian island of Korcula. This was developed through a methodology that uses factors, derived from the statistic, that have an influence on the energy consumption. Energy consumption and the Baseline CO 2 emissions inventory for municipalities on Korcula in the public sector, households, tertiary sector and road transport are calculated. Total CO 2 emissions for listed sectors in baseline 2012 are 42,923 tCO 2 , and with recommended actions and measures this can be reduced by approx. 22% till 2020. There are planned joint actions, so all municipalities on the island can cooperate together to maximise their limited financial and human capacities. There has been suggested the establishment of action group for actions implementation which will include representatives from municipalities and other stakeholders. Investments for measures in household sector in joint and individual approach was compared and it was concluded that achieving economy of scale with an integrated approach would accelerate their implementation. The integrated approach enables small neighbouring municipalities to develop one strategy and act together towards achieving goals taken by submitting to the Covenant of Mayors.
