Book of Abstracts: 7th International Conference on Smart Energy Systems

Abstract

This Book of Abstracts documents the 7th International Conference on Smart Energy Systems, which took place on 21-22 September 2021 as a hybrid event organised by Aalborg University and Energy Cluster Denmark. The aim of the conference is to establish a forum for presenting and discussing scientific findings and industrial experiences related to the subject of smart energy systems based on renewable energy, 4th Generation District Heating Technologies and Systems (4GDH), electrification of heating and transport sectors, electrofuels and energy efficiency. The Smart Energy System concept is essential for 100% renewable energy systems to harvest storage synergies and exploit low-value heat sources. The most effective and least-cost solutions are to be found when the electricity sector is combined with the heating and cooling sectors and/or the transport sector. Moreover, the combination of electricity and gas infrastructures may play an important role in the design of future renewable energy systems. The 7th conference in the series cements it as a main venue for presenting subjects that are pertinent to the development and implementation of smart energy systems to fulfil national and international objectives
