Deep learning (DL) models have shown promise in this area due to their ability to learn complex, non-linear relationships within large datasets. This study presents a systematic literature review (SLR) of deep learning applications for solar PV forecasting, addressing a gap in the existing literature, which often focuses on traditional ML or broader renewable energy applications. This review specifically aims to identify the DL architectures employed, preprocessing and feature engineering techniques used, the input features leveraged, evaluation metrics applied, and the persistent challenges in this field. Through a rigorous analysis of 26 selected papers from an initial set of 155 articles retrieved from the Web of Science database, we found that Long Short-Term Memory (LSTM) networks were the most frequently used algorithm (appearing in 32.69% of the papers), closely followed by Convolutional Neural Networks (CNNs) at 28.85%. Furthermore, Wavelet Transform (WT) was found to be the most prominent data decomposition technique, while Pearson Correlation was the most used for feature selection. We also found that ambient temperature, pressure, and humidity are the most common input features. Our systematic evaluation provides critical insights into state-of-the-art DL-based solar forecasting and identifies key areas for upcoming research. Future research should prioritize the development of more robust and interpretable models, as well as explore the integration of multi-source data to further enhance forecasting accuracy. Such advancements are crucial for the effective integration of solar energy into future power grids.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101735"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143907851","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We contest this fundamental assumption by drawing on insights from moral and political philosophy. By specifying the descriptive, normative, and prescriptive tenets of a technological pluralist governance process, we set out a framework for driving transitions while taking value conflicts seriously. With clean hydrogen production as a case in point, we illustrate (a) the analysis of socio-technical change through pluralist lenses and (b) the design of pluralist governance strategies for clean hydrogen. We conclude with the suggestion that technological pluralism might be suited not only for the governance of the hydrogen transition but also for taking value conflicts seriously in the current context of decentralization and inclusion promoted by recent EU energy policy frameworks.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101734"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143902009","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results reveal that (1) transport services value-added and its economic contribution are key factors in growing CO₂ emissions; however, energy intensity is a factor in reducing CO₂ emissions within the transport sector. (2) The transport sector has made notable progress in decoupling, with strong negative decoupling and expansive negative decoupling being dominant states, indicating that fuel consumption is contributing to a rise in CO₂ emissions. The presence of these decoupling trends during the analyzed period has increased due to energy substitution and the growing trend of the turnover economy, presenting variations in technology and efficiency-related effects.

Ukraine’s electricity system is on the brink of collapse, with approximately 70% of its pre-war power generation capacity lost. Model projections indicate that over the course of 12 months from summer 2024 on, load shedding will be required for 7,900 of the 8,760 h in the year (90% of time), with deficits exceeding 4,000 MW for more than 1,000 h and peak shortfalls reaching up to 6,500 MW—about one-third of national peak demand. Technical solutions to address this crisis exist; however, their rapid implementation requires substantial resources and a high level of coordination. Our analysis shows that restoring half of the damaged capacity, enhancing cross-border transfer capacity – specifically by adding an additional 500 MW from Poland – and installing quickly deployable, decentralized generation capacities could drastically reduce load shedding. To achieve these rapid improvements, we propose establishing an “energy situation room” to centralize real-time data, streamline coordination among domestic and international stakeholders, and facilitate targeted investments by local and private actors. This coordinated approach is essential to mitigate the impending energy crisis and bolster Ukraine’s energy resilience ahead of the critical winter period.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101724"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-05-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143887831","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Findings reveal a mean and median public charging demand of 135 and 23 EVs/charger respectively – that is, a much more efficient utilization of chargers than the current public charging global average (10 EVs/charger). The differences are explained by aggregation of charging strategies – fast and super-fast charging can support 5 to 10 times as many vehicles per charger – but also a wide range of assumption used across studies, apparently deviating from actual deployment. We also identify a need for more forward-looking research given evolving technologies and policy ambitions. Further research is necessary for underrepresented regions like Africa and Latin America, and different vehicle types, such as heavy and light-duty commercial vehicles.

This research aims to identify the key factors such as climate, electricity and gas price, GDP, renewable energy use, population and COVID-19 influencing household energy consumption in EU countries, particularly in the context of recent crises such as COVID-19 and the Russia-Ukraine war. Research starts with trend analysis using the Mann-Kendall (MK) test and Sen's Slope estimator, then Tukey test, followed by the examination of household panel data from EU countries spanning 2000 to 2022 using static and dynamic panel models including Feasible Generalized Least Squares (FGLS) and System Generalized Method of Moments (GMM). The MK test reveals a significant upward trend in gas prices, while gas usage shows mixed trends in natural gas consumption and electricity usage generally increases across EU countries. The Tukey test reveals substantial shifts in pricing of gas and electricity trends influenced by external factors such as the COVID-19 pandemic and the Russia-Ukraine war. Moreover, renewable energy consumption emerged as significant, indicating a noteworthy increase in renewable energy utilization among EU-24 countries. Static FGLS model findings indicate significant effects of various factors on gas consumption, such as Heating Degree Days (HDD), Cooling Degree Days (CDD), Renewables use, Electricity price, Population, and GDP lead to corresponding increases in gas consumption. On the contrary, electricity consumption and gas prices lead to decreases in gas consumption. Similarly, HDD, CDD, gas price, population, and GDP have positive effects on electricity consumption. Meanwhile, increase in gas consumption and electricity price lead to decreases in electricity consumption. Dynamic model results differ slightly, HDD, CDD, GDP, and the dummy variable (COVID-19) contribute to an increase in gas consumption in the EU household sector. Meanwhile, according to the system GMM, electricity prices and gas prices lead to a decrease in gas consumption. However, CDD, gas consumption, and the dummy variable tend to increase electricity consumption. In the dynamic model, only gas prices contribute to a decrease in electricity consumption. In summary, the research offers valuable insights into factors influencing energy consumption in EU countries, suggesting implications for policy and future research directions in energy economics and sustainability.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":11546,"journal":{"name":"Energy Strategy Reviews","volume":"59 ","pages":"Article 101728"},"PeriodicalIF":7.9,"publicationDate":"2025-04-29","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143881850","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
