Interplay of Gas and Electricity Systems at Distribution Level
(MIT Energy Initiative, 2016-12-14)Distributed energy resources for space conditioning comprise a set of varied technologies, ranging from mature well established systems such as furnaces, boilers, and air-conditioning (AC) units to emerging ones such as ... -
Machine learning from schools about energy efficiency
(MIT Energy Initiative, 2017-09-27)In the United States, consumers invest billions of dollars annually in energy efficiency, often on the assumption that these investments will pay for themselves via future energy cost reductions. We study energy efficiency ... -
Plausible Energy Futures: A Framework for Evaluating Options, Impacts, and National Energy Choices.
(MIT Energy Initiative, 2019-10-30)The global energy system is undergoing major transformations. The world faces a dual challenge of meeting increasing energy demand while reducing greenhouse gas emissions. This change is characterized by the convergence ... -
Reaching universal energy access in Morocco: A successful experience in solar concessions
(2021-05)Ten years after the conclusion of its universal energy access program, Morocco has now become one of the best examples of successful integrated utility-led electrification programs. In less than fifteen years, rural ... -
System implications of continued cost declines for wind and solar on driving power sector decarbonization
(MIT Energy Initiative, 2020-03)Global efforts on confronting climate change through reducing energy-related greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions have seen the most success in the electric power sector through the continued growth in variable renewable energy ... -
Two-Way Trade in Green Electrons: Deep Decarbonization of the Northeastern U.S. and the Role of Canadian Hydropower
(MIT Center for Energy and Environmental Policy Research, 2020-02-12)Meeting climate policy targets in the U.S. Northeast will likely require the nearly complete decarbonization of electricity generation. To that end, consideration is being given to expanding imports of hydropower from ...
