Summary: Given the extensive use of smart meters, it is necessary to develop methods to extract knowledge from the data they provide. This study introduces the use of census information to characterize urban segments with similar electricity load curves, eliminating the need for costly surveys or measurements. By doing so, relevant variables are identified and used to infer the daily behavior of sectors without such information.

Summary: This article examines the impact of installed capacity of renewable energy sources on sectoral electricity demand and aims to evaluate the renewable energy policies implemented in Turkey. The study finds that the Installed Capacity variable significantly and negatively affects electricity demand in all sectors in the long run. According to the forecast results, a higher increase in the installed capacity of renewable energy sources leads to a faster decrease in electricity demand. Based on these findings, Turkey needs to increase the share of renewable energy sources in electricity production for economic and environmental sustainability.

Summary: To address climate change and achieve sustainable development, decarbonizing China's electric power system is crucial. This study examines the low-carbon transition and sustainable development of China's power system through 2035. The analysis suggests that rapid electrification will lead to a significant increase in electricity demand, requiring the replacement of coal-fired power generation with renewable energy. Incorporating electricity demand-side management is essential for an effective decarbonization pathway. The results of this study can provide guidance for policy makers in China and other emerging economies.

Summary: The need for reducing carbon emissions and achieving Net Zero energy has made improving heat pumps' operational efficiency a crucial goal. This study proposes a model-free deep reinforcement learning-based HP operation strategy, which minimizes electricity costs by considering thermal load demand, renewable generation, COP of HPs, and SOC of thermal storage. The results show that this method can reduce the year-round demand charge by 23.1%, energy charge by 21.7%, and electricity cost by 22.2%.

Summary: This article investigates the effects of strict simultaneity requirements and temporal flexibility on the deployment of green hydrogen. The study shows that a flexible definition of green hydrogen does not necessarily increase power sector emissions. However, requiring hourly simultaneity may result in additional costs, embedded carbon, and a potential slow-down of green hydrogen deployment.

Summary: The merit order effect describes the phenomenon of a decrease in electricity prices due to increased renewable energy capacity, but it is temporary due to slow capacity adjustments. Concerns about the adverse consequences for conventional power plants resulting from renewable capacity are partially justified, as renewables compete with base load to a limited extent.

Summary: As the global population grows, the demand for food, energy, and water will increase significantly. However, limited land availability and competition for solar resources pose challenges to resource generation technologies. In the United States, both agriculture and solar energy production have adopted densification schemes to improve yields and energy output per unit of land. This research proposes an Agrivoltaic food and energy coproduction architecture that optimizes power generation while maintaining crop productivity by implementing ideal anti-tracking during critical growth periods. This technology offers a viable pathway for widespread solar implementation throughout the contiguous United States.
