The energy system that delivers this change will need a new architecture and will use new technologies; it will need to be digitally enabled and optimised for affordability, sustainability and resilience. The interactions, interdependencies and trade-offs between and amongst all parts of the energy system must be fully understood and managed. Planning and implementing this substantial change successfully will require a holistic, synergetic approach.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">A synergetic energy system is one in which all components work together in a highly coordinated, mutually reinforcing way to optimise performance, efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. The ambition is to improve the overall efficiency of the energy system, cut greenhouse gas emissions, reduce resilience risks, and deliver affordable services for all.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">This book provides a synergetic perspective on energy system transformation, with particular focus on energy storage and demand-side management (DSM) as two key drivers and enablers of change. By combining different storage solutions - such as batteries, flywheels, hydrogen, and thermal energy - with DSM measures tailored for industries, cities, and buildings, this approach can reduce dependence on external power imports and support integration of distributed intermittent clean generation.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Offering a nuanced understanding of the complex interactions between generation, transmission, distribution, and consumption, and bringing together diverse perspectives on the development of synergetic energy systems, this book aims to provide readers with breadth and depth of understanding. Through practical case studies from several countries, readers gain insights into how integrated energy systems can harness excess low-carbon energy, store it in multiple forms, and convert it into diverse types of energy to meet dynamic demands.</p> <p xmlns="http://ns.editeur.org/onix/3.0/reference">Written by and for innovators, academics and industry practitioners in the field, and curated by two expert editors, <i>Synergetic Energy Systems: Integrating storage and demand-side management</i> seeks to support informed discussion, encourage collaboration, and contribute to the ongoing development of integrated energy systems capable of meeting the environmental, economic, and societal challenges of the future.</p>Tue, 08 Sep 2026 08:29:22 GMThttps://shop.theiet.org:443/synergetic-energy-systems
