Decarbonization in Complex Energy Systems: A Study on the Feasibility of Carbon Neutrality for Switzerland in 2050

François Maréchal, Theodoros Damartzis, Xiang Li, Stefano Moret, Boris Meier

Decarbonization gained prominence with the witnessed rise of temperature over recent years, particularly in the aftermath of the adoption of the Paris agreement for limiting the temperature increase within 2°C until 2050. Biogenic resources are explicitly ...

Decision support for strategic energy planning: A robust optimization framework

Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret

Optimization models for long-term energy planning often feature many uncertain inputs, which can be handled using robust optimization. However, uncertainty is seldom accounted for in the energy planning practice, and robust optimization applications in thi ...

Overcapacity in European power systems: Analysis and robust optimization approach

Michel Bierlaire, François Maréchal, Frédéric Louis François Babonneau, Stefano Moret

The planning of national power systems is traditionally based on long-term forecasts of electricity demand and fuel prices. However, over such long time horizons (20-50 years), these forecasts often prove to be inaccurate. As an example, wrong projections ...

EnergyScope TD: A novel open-source model for regional energy systems

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret

The transition towards more sustainable, fossil-free energy systems is interlinked with a high penetration of stochastic renewables, such as wind and solar. Integrating these new energy resources and technologies will lead to profound structural changes in ...

The role of storage in the Swiss energy transition

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Xiang Li

The transition towards more sustainable, fossil-free energy systems is interlinked with a high penetration of stochastic renewables, such as wind and solar. In this context, energy storage technologies of different kinds - namely electrical, thermal and ch ...

Are renewables really that expensive? The impact of uncertainty on the cost of the energy transition

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Xiang Li, Francesco Baldi

The dramatic evidence of climate change is making the transition to more renewable energy systems an urgent global priority. As energy planners normally look 20-50 years ahead, it is crucial to consider the key uncertainties stemming from inaccurate foreca ...

Automatic Online Fake News Detection Combining Content and Social Signals

Stefano Moret, Gabriele Ballarin

The proliferation and rapid diffusion of fake news on the Internet highlight the need of automatic hoax detection systems. In the context of social networks, machine learning (ML) methods can be used for this purpose. Fake news detection strategies are tra ...

Optimal use of biomass in large-scale energy systems: insights for energy policy

François Maréchal, Stefano Moret, Emanuela Peduzzi, Victor Codina Gironès, Marco Nasato

Biomass chemical conversion processes allow the production of solid, liquid and gaseous biofuels, which can substitute almost any kind of fossil fuel and the associated greenhouse gas emissions. Despite this potential, high investment costs and conversion ...

Strategic energy planning under uncertainty

Stefano Moret

Various countries and communities are defining or rethinking their energy strategy driven by concerns for climate change and security of energy supply. Energy models, often based on optimization, can support this decision-making process. In the current ene ...

Spatial clustering for district heating integration in urban energy systems: application to geothermal energy

François Maréchal, Stéphane Joost, Stefano Moret, Jérémy Michel Pierre Unternährer

Given the challenges related to climate change and dependency from fossil fuels, modification of the energy systems infrastructure to increase the share of renewable energy is a priority in urban energy planning. The high heating density in cities makes it ...
