E-Mobility in Positive Energy Districts [PDF]
Buildings, 2022 A rise in the number of EVs (electric vehicles) in Europe is putting pressure on power grids. At an urban scale, Positive Energy Districts (PEDs) are devised as archetypes of (small) urban districts managing a set of interconnected buildings and district

Characteristic load curves of positive energy districts
Solar Energy AdvancesThe decarbonization of the building sector is linked to the electrification of buildings, thus, increasing the stress on the electric grid. The concept (or vision) of positive energy districts (PEDs) aims at supporting the energy transition in cities by ...

Editorial: Urban Energy Poverty and Positive Energy Districts [PDF]
Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2022 Cities are important actors in low-carbon energy transitions. They matter as front-runners, trend-setters and decision-makers. They matter as daily settings for over half of humanity. As cities continue to evolve, urban form is changing and the effects on consumption and climate change are the focus of political debate, governance and urban ...

Positioning Positive Energy Districts in European Cities [PDF]
Buildings, 2021 There are many concepts for buildings with integrated renewable energy systems that have received increased attention during the last few years. However, these concepts only strive to streamline building-level renewable energy solutions. In order to improve the flexibility of decentralized energy generation, individual buildings and energy systems ...

Residential Densification for Positive Energy Districts [PDF]
Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2021 The energy footprint of houses can be reduced by replacing the aging stock with higher density and more energy efficient homes equipped with on-site renewable energy production. In this study, a “double density” simulation scenario is considered where each existing detached house in a community is replaced with two houses of equal living area on the ...
