Review and validation of EnergyPLAN

Energy Transition in the global South – Editorial for the International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management Vol 35

“…One thing that was also identified in the study is a lack of studies on the Global South. This is also exemplified by another recent study which while finding some application of the EnergyPLAN [2] model in, e.g., Latin America, there is very little application in Africa and South East Asia [3]. In this issue of the International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management, the articles address different angles of the energy transition in different countries of the Global South and thus help fill this gap.…”

Sustainability Meets Information Technologies: Recent Developments and Future Perspectives

“…The model, which has more than 3000 users worldwide, is being actively used for teaching at AAU as well as many other universities worldwide. The tool is also being widely used by researchers and has been reportedly applied in more than 300 journal articles [28]. Figure 2 shows an input-output diagram of the model.…”

Sustainable Energy Planning and Management Vol 38

“…In this special issue, Viesi and coauthors [13] apply a multi-objective optimization framework based on the EnergyPLAN [14,15] simulation model to an energy community in the Alps, investigating trajectories towards a decarbonised energy system in 2030 and 2050. The work thus places itself in a school of work that transcens the typical gap between simulation models like EnergyPLAN and optimisation models with endogenous system composition optimisation [16,17], as also examplied by Mahbub [18][19][20][21][22], Prina [23][24][25][26][27][28][29], Fischer [30], Bellocchi [31], Komušanac [32], Groppi [33,34], Johannsen [17], Laha [35], Vaccaro [36], Herc [37], and Maigret [38].…”
