However, the limited adaptability to multi-modal energy information and low coordination in multiple energy tasks lead to difficulties in making accurate decisions for energy management. To this end, we proposed a novel general energy-aware framework with multi-modal information and multi-task coordination for smart management in energy systems. An adaptive transformation method was presented for converting multi-modal data to a general format by reassigning feature positions based on similarities. The proposed energy-aware framework fed with the generalized multi-modal data, going through feature extraction via a progressive vision backbone, and then produced outputs for multiple energy tasks. The adaptive loss weighting method was proposed to coordinate convergence rates and magnitudes of losses among multiple energy-related tasks. A series of experiments were conducted in practical energy systems to validate technical feasibility of proposed energy-aware framework. The performance metrics for multiple energy tasks including predictive maintenance, energy prediction and control optimization were 0.994, 0.942 and 0.945, and their performances remain relatively stable at 0.990, 0.920 and 0.952 for multi-task learning. The model performances can be increased by 7.19 % through adopting adaptive transformation. Moreover, extensive comparative experiments demonstrated the proposed energy-aware model outperformed common machine learning and deep learning algorithms. Our study is expected to develop more general and flexible deep learning model for smart management to save energy and ensure security, thereby supporting the realization of net-zero emissions in energy systems.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 115387"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143332088","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This research seeks to understand the evolution of energy demand in the WEO and how the WEO projections have performed compared to historical developments. Furthermore, this study analyses the range of future projections for the central WEO scenarios from 1993 to 2022, the outlook scenarios, compared to the scenarios aimed at higher levels of sustainability, the normative scenarios. The results suggest that while the IEA has accurately anticipated primary and final energy demand growth, it has historically overestimated the growth in fossil fuels and nuclear electricity generation and severely underestimated the growth in key renewable technologies including solar photovoltaics and wind power, the latter occurring across scenarios. Furthermore, projections beyond 2020 largely fail to anticipate the terawatt-scale PV developments that are expected by market and solar photovoltaics experts. Despite sufficient technological complexity, an artificial cap on renewables and power-to-X technology growth can be observed in favour of nuclear power, bioenergy, and fossil fuels coupled with carbon capture and sequestration. Such perspectives, especially in the normative scenarios, may impede the growth of technologies that are essential to fully defossilise energy-industry systems. Thus, increased transparency of assumptions and exploration into scenarios demonstrating the feasibility of higher variable renewable growth, and thus power-to-X applications can help spur public confidence and investments from policymakers and investors.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 115371"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143332571","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Thermal insulation is highly effective in reducing energy needs. Therefore, national policies have regulated and encouraged insulation retrofits. Their environmental convenience depends on the carbon footprint of the materials used and the carbon density of the energy consumed. However, this is not usually reflected in prescriptions, and no studies have tried to formulate practical solutions for this integration. This work proposes a prescriptive approach based on Type-III declarations of materials and the carbon footprint of thermal energy to improve the environmental convenience and feasibility of retrofits. The life cycle environmental balance of thermal insulation retrofits is first investigated with a simplified analytical model. Then, the analytical model is applied to a parametric case study. The effect of natural hazards on maintenance-related emissions is also considered, an aspect quite unexplored in the literature. The results demonstrated that the impact of the embodied carbon is significant, especially considering future realistic low-carbon energy scenarios and the impact of a natural hazard on the needed maintenance. The proposed approach, conceived to be applicable in current practices, allows for a reduction of the minimum thermal resistance of the opaque envelope by up to 33% in the case of low embodied carbon materials and low carbon density heating technologies. The novel approach can still deliver energy savings of more than 60% and reduce the life cycle emissions and materials required, opening new perspectives for more sustainable and holistic regulations in the building sector.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 115369"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-22","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143333462","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Global labour shortages are already recognised as a risk to energy sector transformation. To enable effective workforce development, it is important to know the scale, location, timing, and occupational composition of the required labour. However, data gaps may mean projections do not reflect current employment intensities and only provide gross numbers. A suite of indicators based on large-scale surveys in Australia and information from literature have been updated using cost declines as a proxy for labour productivity gains. This research presents employment factors for the number jobs created at each project stage, compares them to international estimates, and presents detailed occupational shares for five technologies. These indicators were used to make projections for the Australian 2024 Integrated System Plan for electricity, and sample results are discussed. These show that projected employment for large scale renewable generation under least cost scenarios for the energy transition are highly volatile. There is also significant overlap between occupations needed for different technologies and transmission. As countries try to rapidly expand renewable capacity and transmission infrastructure, integration of workforce projections into electricity scenarios using employment indicators allows for better planning. Workforce projections can inform policymakers of the need to reduce volatility, as well as helping training institutions, industry and governments to plan for the scale of workforce growth needed.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":418,"journal":{"name":"Renewable and Sustainable Energy Reviews","volume":"212 ","pages":"Article 115339"},"PeriodicalIF":16.3,"publicationDate":"2025-01-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143332090","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":1,"RegionCategory":"工程技术","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
