Positive Energy District: A Model for Historic Districts to Address Energy Poverty [PDF]

Frontiers in Sustainable Cities, 2021
The Positive Energy District (PED) concept has been pointed out as key for cities' energy system transformation toward carbon neutrality. The PED may be defined as an energy-efficient and flexible urban area with net-zero energy import and greenhouse gas

Characteristic load curves of positive energy districts

Solar Energy Advances
The 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 ...

Positive Energy Districts: Identifying Challenges and Interdependencies [PDF]

Sustainability, 2021
Positive Energy Districts (PED) are areas within cities that generate more renewable energy than they consume, contributing to cities’ energy system transformation toward carbon neutrality. Since PED is a novel concept, the implementation is very challenging.
