“…Knowledge is the basis for economic development and social progress; it is crucial for value creation (Wehn and Montalvo, 2018), and technology is the set of knowledge and techniques, which, applied in a logical and orderly manner, allow human beings to modify their environment to meet their needs (Tabares Quiroz and Correa Vélez, 2014). Because of the growing need to reduce GHG emissions from electric power generation, research, knowledge creation, and technology generation are fundamental for making the shift to a sustainable electricity system (FAES, 2018;Lantz et al, 2021;Sandin and Benner, 2022). Universities and research centers are indispensable, as they are the main source of knowledge and technology generation.…”

IntroductionAchieving an energy transition in the power industry in Mexico is a complex task. Despite being one of the most promising countries in Latin America and the world for developing wind and solar photovoltaic energy, energy and climate change efforts are insufficient; therefore, changes are generated slowly and leisurely. This article attempts to make a proposal based on the Quintuple Helix Model as an analytical and decision-making framework to encourage the production and consumption of clean/renewable electric energy and reduce GHG emissions. It proposes the sum of strategic interactions to promote a cooperation system and knowledge transfer, know-how, and innovation through the active and committed collaboration of government, academia, industry, civil society, and the environment to achieve the sustainable development of the electricity industry in Mexico.MethodsThese hypotheses are the result of the development of a singular methodology based on Partial Least Squares (PLS), according to Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results point out that the five-helix approach is valid to solve the energy transition problem in the electricity industry in Mexico.DiscussionAlthough it is not fully developed and consolidated, it can be replicated in scenarios with similar socioeconomic characteristics. Furthermore, the government is the most opportune intermediary driving agent for the development of the energy transition in the electricity industry, since it is the one that can lead and drive the energy transition process by modifying the electricity sector through structural change in the energy market.

Aged care communities have been under the spotlight since the beginning of 2020. Energy is essential to ensure reliable operation and quality care provision in residential aged care communities (RAC). The aim of this study is to determine how RAC’s yearly energy use and peak demand changed in Australia and what this might mean for RAC design, operation and energy asset investment and ultimately in the healthcare plan for elderly residents. Five years of electricity demand data from four case study RACs in the same climate zone are analyzed. Statistical tools are used to analyze the data, and a clustering algorithm is used to identify typical demand profiles. A number of energy key performance indicators (KPIs) are evaluated, highlighting their respective benefits and limitations. The results show an average 8% reduction for yearly energy use and 7% reduction for yearly peak demands in the COVID-19 year compared with the average of the previous four years. Typical demand profiles for the four communities were mostly lower in the pandemic year. Despite these results, the KPI analysis shows that, for these four communities, outdoor ambient temperature remains a very significant correlation factor for energy use.

“…Increasing urban population and their energy and mobility needs have created major energy and transport sustainability problems for particularly large metropolitan cities [87][88][89]. In this perspective paper, we argued for the need for MEaaS to operationalize energy, transport and urban infrastructures for establishing sustainable electromobility in large metropolitan cities to address the energy and transport sustainability problems.…”

Mobile-Energy-as-a-Service (MEaaS): Sustainable Electromobility via Integrated Energy–Transport–Urban Infrastructure

The transport sector is one of the leading contributors of anthropogenic climate change. Particularly, internal combustion engine (ICE) dominancy coupled with heavy private motor vehicle dependency are among the main issues that need to be addressed immediately to mitigate climate change and to avoid consequential catastrophes. As a potential solution to this issue, electric vehicle (EV) technology has been put forward and is expected to replace a sizable portion of ICE vehicles in the coming decades. Provided that the source of electricity is renewable energy resources, it is expected that the wider uptake of EVs will positively contribute to the efforts in climate change mitigation. Nonetheless, wider EV uptake also comes with important issues that could challenge urban power systems. This perspective paper advocates system-level thinking to pinpoint and address the undesired externalities of EVs on our power grids. Given that it is possible to mobilize EV batteries to act as a source of mobile-energy supporting the power grid and the paper coins, and conceptualize a novel concept of Mobile-Energy-as-a-Service (MEaaS) for system-wide integration of energy, transport, and urban infrastructures for sustainable electromobility in cities. The results of this perspective include a discussion around the issues of measuring optimal real-time power grid operability for MEaaS, transport, power, and urban engineering aspects of MEaaS, flexible incentive-based price mechanisms for MEaaS, gauging the public acceptability of MEaaS based on its desired attributes, and directions for prospective research.
