Participatory modelling has emerged as a promising approach to support these transitions, as it involves incorporating stakeholders' perspectives into models and policy designs, which helps integrate their mental models and preferences into simulations. This paper reviews the current state of participatory modelling in transition research for energy scenarios. Drawing on a comprehensive literature review and semi-structured interviews, we extract findings by evaluating participatory modelling techniques against criteria such as normative dimensions, non-linearity, actors and agency, uncertainty and emergence. Findings reveal that techniques like Cross-Impact Balance analysis and Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping excel in incorporating normative aspects and capturing diverse actor perspectives, yet they face challenges in addressing non-linearity and uncertainty. Bayesian Networks and Agent-Based Models are strong in managing uncertainty and modelling emergent behaviours but show limitations in normative aspects. Our findings provide a foundation for scholars and practitioners in the field of socio-technical energy transitions to select participatory modelling techniques best suited to their specific research contexts. This review also highlights gaps between theoretical potential and practical application of participatory modelling techniques. Bridging these gaps requires methodological advancement and a more rigorous application in empirical studies. To this end, future directions for blending techniques are discussed to better address the complexities of energy transitions.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34615,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Applied Energy","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100215"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143171809","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We incorporate adaptive reinforcement learning (ARL) into energy management (EM) and introduce a novel approach, called ARLEM. An online, value-based, model-free ARL engine is designed that updates its policy periodically and partially by replacing less favorable actions with those better adapted to evolving environmental conditions. Multiple policy update mechanisms are assessed, varying based on the frequency and length of updates and the action selection criteria. ARLEM is tested to control the energy performance of typical urban blocks in Madrid and Stockholm considering 17 future climate scenarios for 2040–2069. Each block contains 24 buildings of different types and ages. In Madrid, ARLEM is tested for a summer with two heatwaves and in Stockholm for a winter with two cold waves. Three performance indicators are defined to evaluate the effectiveness and resilience of different control approaches during extreme weather events. ARLEM demonstrates an ability to increase climate resilience in the studied blocks by increasing energy flexibility in the network and reducing both average and peak energy demands while affecting indoor thermal comfort marginally. Since the approach does not require any information about the system dynamics, it is easy to cope with the complexities of building systems and technologies, making it an affordable technology to control large urban areas with diverse types of buildings.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34615,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Applied Energy","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100213"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143171818","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In North America and Europe, replacing 56.7 % of plastics with glass, metal, and biodegradable alternatives coupled with chemical recycling can achieve zero annual waste by 2040 or 2035 with biomass-powered carbon capture and utilization. In African and Southeast Asian countries, this net-zero waste goal will be delayed to 2055 due to excessive plastic waste from global trade imports. Strategies including a 50 % cross-border tariff increment on plastic waste export and promoting alternative material use can reduce 87.45 % of global waste trade volume and surpluses to developed countries.

This paper seeks to illuminate the bidding theory of intermittent renewables under negative electricity prices through not only a theoretical model but also an empirical analysis of its real-world counterpart. First, we propose a comprehensive intermittent renewable bidding decision model considering both forward contract and spot market, as well as income from both the energy market and green energy incentive, which significantly influence bidding behavior under negative price conditions. Next, we develop a data-driven approach to estimate the model’s embedded parameters using publicly available market data, enabling direct comparison with real-world counterparts. Finally, on the basis of the proposed model, we analyze the actual bid records in comparison to the optimal bidding decisions from three perspectives: strategy, behavior, and profit. Empirical results show that the proposed model can explain 80% of the bidding strategies employed by intermittent renewable power plants in a real-world market, including suboptimal strategies. Furthermore, some empirical evidence can help understand the intrinsic relationship between bidding rationality and negative price severity.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":34615,"journal":{"name":"Advances in Applied Energy","volume":"17 ","pages":"Article 100209"},"PeriodicalIF":13.0,"publicationDate":"2025-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143171822","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The findings reveal that, at 2019 prices, most households would face higher heating costs with heat pumps.
