To reduce household energy consumption and CO₂ emissions while promoting sustainable development, a novel household energy management system employing hybrid sustainable resources and adaptive co-storage of cold, heat and electricity (AHHES) is proposed. The system makes full use of the local solar and wind resources and improves flexibility and adaptivity through the co-storage of cold, heat and electricity. Energy flow and exergy efficiency analysis model is established and simulation calculations under different seasons and weathers are performed to evaluate the thermodynamic performance of the system. Simulation results show high low-carbon energy utilization and low energy loss of designed system. The share of renewable energy sources in total energy supply is above 50% in summer and above 30% in winter. Except for the PV-solar thermal hybrid module, the energy flow loss of all other modules is at a low level. The exergy efficiency of hot storage tank (HST), cold storage tank (CST), and pre-heat exchanger (PHE) is significantly higher than that of conventional refrigeration or heating equipment such as water chillers (WC), air-conditioning refrigeration cycle (RC), or heat pump (HP), demonstrating that the AHHES exhibits superior energy-saving potential.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":56019,"journal":{"name":"Sustainable Energy Technologies and Assessments","volume":"80 ","pages":"Article 104370"},"PeriodicalIF":7.1,"publicationDate":"2025-06-03","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144195274","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}

Nonetheless, the costs and scarcity of lithium as a raw material for REs are unreasonable in the long term.

Also, important dilemmas regarding LIBs presented in the literature including high efficiency, high power density, and environmentally sound recycling methods are discussed.
