At a time when the residential sector is in full swing following the new pact announced by the EU (the Green Deal), it seems appropriate to analyse the different energy possibilities of today and tomorrow residential sector. By 2050, the household segment will have to achieve carbon neutrality in terms of net CO2 emissions. An hour-based model is used to optimise the total cost of each energy system per dwelling on an annual basis. Throughout these results, we have investigated the various energy system possibilities, including renovation, the integration of renewable energy and different storage solutions. The further approach is focused on the cost-effective competitiveness of energy districts compared to the single house, both today and in a low carbon future. Large-scale thermal storage units combined by heat electrification appears to be a key player in the energy transition.
