Using balanced panel data for 282 prefecture-level cities in China from 2010 to 2022, this study employs a spatial difference-in-differences approach to examine the relationship between New Energy Demonstration City pilot designation and urban energy justice while accounting for inter-city spatial spillovers. The analysis yields three main findings. First, the SDID estimates suggest that NEDC pilot designation is associated with higher local energy justice, while the spatial estimates indicate positive cumulative spillovers across spatially connected cities. Second, industrial structure upgrading and regional development inequality moderate the estimated policy relationships in different ways, with industrial structure upgrading strengthening both the local relationship and spatial spillovers, whereas regional development inequality weakens the local relationship but has no significant moderating effect on spatial spillovers. Third, the local estimates are relatively larger in eastern and central regions and in large cities, while the estimated spatial spillovers are stronger in resource-based cities and cities with higher renewable energy endowments. These findings highlight the importance of incorporating spatial linkages and local development conditions into the design and evaluation of new energy policies aimed at advancing energy justice.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 102346"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148959136","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To analyse this landscape and address relevant research questions concerning controllable household appliances, a multilevel conceptual framework has been developed by organising the investigation into five interconnected thematic domains: digital control of the appliances, flexibility analysis, user engagement, management by aggregators, and relations with energy communities. Through discussions of selected scientific articles and real-world projects, this article reviews the categorisation of household appliances, methods for controlling them, and indicators to assess load-shifting capabilities and flexibility. It then addresses user engagement based on users’ behaviour, active role, and comfort. Operational strategies for aggregators are identified to manage controllable appliances, develop suitable business models, and participate in flexibility markets. Finally, the deployment of smart household appliances within energy communities is discussed as a further opportunity to involve more users and share their available resources. The synthesis distinguishes comparatively established approaches from promising but still weakly validated combinations of appliance types, control strategies, engagement mechanisms, and aggregator models.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 102355"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148959135","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Yet decision-oriented evidence remains fragmented across technology domains and metric systems, and links between storage technologies, KPI emphases, and MCDM/A method choices are rarely synthesized within a unified and reproducible framework. To address this gap, this study combines bibliometric evidence mapping with a standardized coding workflow that consolidates indicators into five KPI dimensions and major MCDM/A method families. Document-level co-occurrence analysis of titles, abstracts, and author keywords is applied to a curated dataset of 301 publications (2000-2025) spanning electrochemical and battery, mechanical, thermal, and hydrogen/chemical storage. The results show accelerated growth of assessment research and a clear shift toward strategic decision and planning framings in which selection, optimization, and multi-criteria evaluation are increasingly central. Coupling patterns reveal dominant emphases on techno-economic feasibility and system integration, whereas social-safety criteria remain unevenly operationalized, particularly for mechanical and thermal storage. Method use is highly concentrated, with fuzzy approaches, AHP, and TOPSIS forming a prevailing core toolbox, while structure-aware approaches capable of representing inter-criteria dependence and non-compensatory feasibility bottlenecks remain sparsely adopted. Beyond mapping, the study delivers deployment-relevant guidance through a feasibility-first decision workflow and minimum reporting standards designed to improve auditability, cross-study comparability, and strategic relevance in energy-storage appraisal.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 102357"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148959137","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Virtual Power Plants (VPPs) have emerged as a promising solution by enabling the aggregation and management of DERs to provide reliable and flexible energy services. This review presents a systematic analysis of VPPs, covering DER aggregation, coordinated control, market participation, and revenue allocation. First, DERs are classified and their modeling approaches are examined, highlighting the difficulties in accurately representing operational characteristics and inherent uncertainties. Various aggregation methods are comparatively analyzed to evaluate their contributions to scalability, flexibility, and operational efficiency. Subsequently, centralized, distributed, and hybrid coordinated control structures are reviewed, together with multi-time-scale optimization strategies integrating day-ahead scheduling, intra-day adjustment, and real-time operation. The review further investigates VPP participation in energy, ancillary service, and local flexibility markets through price- and quantity-based bidding mechanisms, as well as emerging business models for monetizing aggregated DERs. In addition, representative revenue allocation methods are reviewed and compared, emphasizing that balancing fairness, incentive compatibility, and computational efficiency remains a major challenge for sustainable VPP commercialization. Compared with existing reviews, this paper develops an integrated analytical framework linking technical coordination and market interaction in VPPs, thereby providing a more comprehensive understanding of the progression from resource aggregation to market-oriented operation. Finally, key challenges and future research directions are identified to support the reliable and economically viable development of VPPs in low-carbon energy systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 102356"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148959141","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Geothermal energy stands out for its high capacity factor and low emissions, yet its historical deployment is often described through visually defined periods rather than statistically dated regimes. This study develops a data-driven framework to statistically validate geothermal development stages and benchmark major markets against a reference pathway. Using annual cumulative installed capacity for leading countries (1945–2024), we estimate endogenous break dates with the Bai–Perron multiple structural change methodology and summarize global diffusion via a sample-aggregate series. An ACC–ACA visualization highlights long-run growth and volatility. Country trajectories are benchmarked to the U.S. reference market through correlation-based time-shift alignment and stage-by-stage similarity scores; Dynamic Time Warping distances serve as a robustness diagnostic. The U.S. series shows five statistically identified breaks over 1960–2024, including a post-2015 regime of moderated growth. The sample-aggregate series displays three breaks (1977, 1989, 2012) with accelerated expansion after 2012. Benchmarking reveals heterogeneous pathways, ranging from strong multi-stage similarity (Italy, Japan) through partial alignment with weaker late-stage recovery (Mexico, Philippines) to limited stage completion (Iceland, Türkiye). The statistically dated staging and alignment framework provides a replicable basis for interpreting geothermal deployment pathways, informing national energy strategies, and supporting policy design for accelerated clean-energy transitions under SDG 7.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 102354"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148959124","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study examines institutional conditions associated with durable VPP deployment through an exploratory comparative review of 26 cases across six continents. The VPP Institutional Transition Framework (VITF) evaluates five dimensions—aggregator recognition, market or procurement access, remuneration design, governance coherence, and pilot-to-durable transition design—and separates four institutional stages from three strategic pathways: Project/Sandbox-to-Market, Programmatic-to-Market, and Durable Procurement or Administrative Embedding. We assessed cases through standardized evidence extraction, independent LLM-assisted preliminary coding, author adjudication, and sensitivity analysis. Twelve cases are Stage 1, ten Stage 2, and four Stage 3; none meet the Stage 0 definition. Two high-scoring cases remain Stage 2 because Stage 3 requires formal recognition and repeatable access. Five cases follow Pathway A, three Pathway B, and four Pathway C, while 14 remain pathway indeterminate; four of five Pathway A routes are retrospective. Remuneration design has the lowest mean (1.27), reflecting the absence of service-linked payment in most Stage 1 cases. Comparable PV–battery configurations occur across all occupied stages, while more durable cases are characterized by recognized authority, recurring access, service-linked remuneration, coherent governance, and either a documented transition mechanism or durable endpoint. Durable institutionalization can therefore occur without open-market integration. The VITF provides a reproducible institutional diagnostic and transition framework for identifying first-order weaknesses, distinguishing current institutional position from routes to durable endpoints, and assessing the institutional basis for VPP contributions to flexibility, resilience, and energy security.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 102358"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148959142","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Using micro-level survey and interview data from 2050 households in Beijing, this study examines how the age of the household head shapes per capita household energy consumption, and how these effects are conditioned by intra-urban spatial structure and China's <em>hukou</em> system. We find pronounced intergenerational differences in household energy consumption and associated socio-technical impact outcomes. Electricity and natural gas dominate the energy mix, with electricity consumption rising systematically with age, reflecting more home-centred daily routines, longer television-viewing time, and differences in appliance conditions. Older household heads are also more likely to be retired or not working, to occupy larger floor area on a per capita basis, and to live in dwellings with weaker thermal conditions. Age-related effects are most pronounced in the core area, where older residents are more concentrated and older housing stock with weaker dwelling conditions is more prevalent. Institutional status further amplifies these patterns: local <em>hukou</em> significantly strengthens the association between age and household energy consumption. Together, the findings show that the energy implications of population ageing emerge from the interaction of demographic change, spatial context and institutional stratification, underscoring the need for differentiated urban energy strategies that support affordable and clean energy consumption in ageing cities.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"67 ","pages":"Article 102344"},"PeriodicalIF":12.1,"publicationDate":"2026-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148959123","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
