Think Global, Act Local? Fortune 500 Business Strategies for Sustainable Cities and Communities (SDG 11)

open access: yesBusiness Strategy and the Environment, Volume 35, Issue 4, Page 4912-4924, May 2026.
ABSTRACT The role of business towards achieving the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) has been well established. However, SDG contextualization continues to pose a conundrum, particularly for firms operating in multiple contexts. This becomes even more problematic in the case of SDG 11, the only goal in the sustainable development agenda directly

Modeling and Power Regulation Strategy of Variable‐Speed Pumped Storage Unit With Full‐Size Converter in Pump Mode

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 2393-2413, May 2026.
A numerical model of variable‐speed pumped storage unit (VSPSU) with full‐size converter (FSC) under fast speed control strategy is established. Additionally, the correctness of the model was validated by comparing with SIMSEN simulation results and text prototype data from NARI.

Integrated Flue‐Gas Heat Recovery for Optimized Steam and Power Generation Using Organic Rankine Cycle (ORC): A Technical and Economic Assessment

open access: yesEnergy Science &Engineering, Volume 14, Issue 5, Page 2499-2513, May 2026.
Integration of a steam cycle with an existing gas turbine increased efficiency from 32% to 51%, reducing fuel consumption by 21.4% and CO2 emissions by 18.6%. The modification generated USD 13.9 million annual savings and lowered the Levelized Cost of Energy to 38.7 USD/MWh, with a 3‐year payback.

Trading Strategies on Local Electricity Markets Using Agent‐Based Modelling and Reinforcement Learning: Vectors to Expand Energy Communities

open access: yesSystems Research and Behavioral Science, Volume 43, Issue 3, Page 1188-1211, May/June 2026.
ABSTRACT Energy communities (ECs) members have a high degree of heterogeneity. Agent‐based modelling (ABM) allows for the modelling of each entity as an agent with distinct characteristics and decision rules. This is particularly useful when the heterogeneity of agents affects outcomes.
