About this Research Topic
Modernized integrated energy system introduces advanced information and communication technologies (ICT), e.g., smart meters, thus makes the conventional energy system smarter. Advanced smart meters and the internet-of-things could provide massive data for accurately reflecting system states thus significantly increasing the perception ability, visibility, and digitalization of the energy system. Digitalization provides a new decarbonized paradigm for the integrated energy system by transforming the way energy is produced, transported, and consumed. Digitalization helps decarbonization in energy systems by optimizing energy management, increasing operational efficiency, and accommodating low-carbon renewable energy resources. However, the following issues are remaining to be discussed: 1) how to evolve energy system management into a digitalization-based manner, how to utilize digital techniques for decarbonization. 2) how to increase digital connectivity of different energy systems (e.g., electricity and gas systems) to exploit the value of data for enhancing economics, efficiency, and sustainability of the whole energy system.
The objective of this Research Topic is to promote the digitalization techniques for achieving decarbonization in modernized integrated energy systems and enhancing the whole energy system economics, efficiency, and sustainability.
The aim of the Research Topic is to cover promising, recent, and novel research trends in the field of carbon-based materials for energy conversion. The Topic Editors welcome submissions of Original Research, Review, and Perspective articles on areas that may include, but are not limited to:
• Digitalization-enabled planning and operation for low-carbon assets, including renewable energy resources and demand response
• Digitalization-based low-carbon preventive maintenance schedule in the energy sector
• Energy and carbon reduction techniques for digital sectors
• Data fusion techniques for different energy systems
• Cloud and edge computing techniques for integrated energy systems optimization for decarbonization.
• AI and machine learning for accurate predication of renewable energy and various loads in integrated energy systems
• Digitalization-enabled life-cycle assessments for products and their value chains in integrated energy systems
• Blockchain for effective decentralized energy management
