Sustainable energy planning with district heating , PV solar and hybrid wind-solar systems
Main Article Content
Abstract
This 50th volume of the International Journal of Sustainable Energy Planning and Management presents contemporary work from the energy planning arena with focus on the planning of renewable energy assets under grid and land constraints, and district heating decarbonisation from a hub-perspective. The two last papers in this volume address different aspects of photovoltaic development; Virtual Power Plant development in Bahrain and agrivoltaic development prospects in Indonesia.
