| description | Abstract To enable sound scientific research in future energy informatics projects, it is necessary to obtain an overview of the current state of the research field to identify unaddressed gaps and challenges. Therefore, this paper aims to investigate the research trends and achievements within energy informatics in a Danish context within the last three decades. This paper reviews 207 energy informatics projects collected until the second quarter of 2022. Quantitative analysis results show that most projects have focused on applying energy informatics through energy-aware control of end-user consumption. The qualitative review finds an emphasis on data usage and end-users which aligns with the quantitative review. Furthermore, it tends to focus on specific end-users, e.g., buildings and heat pumps. Four overall recommendations are established: (I) Increased emphasis on research for sector coupling to aid in unlocking energy system flexibility, (II) project data value chain output, focusing on structuring and managing the data to make it applicable for future re-use, (III) utilizing industrial loads and incorporating an end-user perspective, (IV) inclusion of research institutions for the improved overall output of the projects through interdisciplinary solutions. |
