Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
The challenges of climate change and energy transition require fundamental changes in energy systems. Significant progress is necessary so that today's energy systems change toward satisfying the ambitious targets of the Energy Roadmap 2050 of the European Commission for fully decarbonizing the European economy by reducing GHG emissions in developed countries to below 80–95% of 1990 levels by 2050. A circular economy has risen high in the agendas of policymakers as a way of enhancing the decarbonization approach.
Conventional Techno-Economic Analysis has been used throughout the decades, as an important decision support tool to evaluate the technical performance and economic feasibility of a technology or a process. It is also usually combined with optimization techniques finding the “action” that best achieves a desired goal or objective. Recent research has begun to incorporate data-driven technologies into Techno-Economic Analysis to effectively optimize both processes and economic parameters simultaneously.
Based on the above, this Special Issue calls for papers broadly related to techno-economic analysis and optimization approaches, especially for energy systems, taking into account circular economy principles. Recent theoretical and methodological advancements, review papers with critical analysis, case studies, applications, technical contributions, and applications of tools and techniques to improve techno-economic analysis and optimization are all welcome. Specific topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
- Decarbonized energy systems, shipping decarbonization
- Design and control of energy systems
- Optimal energy management
- Sustainable ship energy systems
- Hybrid, power to X energy systems
- Renewable energy and synthetic fuels as replacement of fossil fuels: methanol, ammonia, hydrogen
- Energy storage systems
- Energy systems reliability and energy security
- Smart energy systems
- Global, international, regional, national, and local energy systems
- LNG as transient fuel in energy sector and shipping
- Green Hydrogen Economy
- Energy supply chain
- Green technologies
- Energy transition and Innovation
- Energy policy and management
- Enterpreunership in transforming energy systems
