Whole Energy Systems - Bridging the Gap via Vector-Coupling Technologies
Whole Energy System (WES) is an approach to face conflicting challenges of security, affordability and sustainability, which often referred to as the energy trilemma and it is a necessity for shaping the transition to decarbonization targets. This field of study addresses the interactions and inter-dependencies within the energy landscape and its connections with other sectors and systems and Integrating social, economic, technical and environmental issues. Considering the important role of electricity (power) industry in the future of the energy and especially its share in clean energy production, make the power sector as a focal point of the WES.
All the stakeholders and active players of this area emphasize on not seeing the power sector in isolation and they all believe that the interaction of the electricity sector with other sectors of the economy, including the heat, gas, hydrogen and transport, is of great importance to successfully meet the Trilemma with the least costs to the customers.
This book introduces an overview of the concept of Whole Energy System and related Vector-Coupling Technologies (VCTs) for coupling the power sector with others while covering a comprehensive and in-depth analysis of each technology for bridging the gap and meeting energy trilemma.
