Energy communities will play a key role in building the more decentralised, less carbon intensive, and fairer energy systems of the future. Such communities enable local prosumers (consumers with own generation and storage) to generate, store and trade energy with each other using locally owned assets, such as wind turbines, rooftop solar panels and batteries. In turn, this enables the community to use more locally generated renewable generation, and shifts the market power from large utility companies to individual prosumers.
Energy community projects often involve jointly-owned assets such as community-owned wind turbines or shared battery storage. Yet, this raises the question of how these assets should be controlled - often in real time, and how the energy outputs jointly-owned assets should be shared fairly among community members, given not all members have the same size, energy needs or demand profiles.

Long-time tactical drone maker AeroVironment has completed its acquisition of ground robot manufacturer Telerob for $45.4 million in cash and a pay-off of $9.4 million of the firm’s debt.
The purchase of the German company is an initial step in AeroVironment’s plans to integrate tactical unmanned air vehicles (UAVs) and unmanned ground vehicles for use in combat operations.

Future combat operations may involve hundreds, perhaps thousands of UAVs and unmanned ground vehicles working in concert, perhaps in swarms, says Wahid Nawabi, AeroVironment’s chief executive officer. Toward that vision of future warfare, the company is working to connect and autonomously coordinate ground- and air-based unmanned systems, he adds.
Tackling the Complex and Global Issue of Climate Change
On a global scale, governments have expedited their objectives toward effective mitigation of climate change.

In this fight to handle the complicated and universal problem of climate change, what is evident is that no single technology or stakeholder can power the entire, timely decarbonization that is needed by the world and its people.
Thus, under this global energy transition, there is an unparalleled rise in decarbonization investments along with new levels of accessibility to both markets and energy systems. Therefore, the main research question is how well to comprehend and maximize the value proposition for various stakeholders.
