This paper proposes a packetized energy management (PEM) framework to transform 6G telecom infrastructure into energy-aware, grid-interactive assets. PEM schedules flexible demand as energy packets, improving renewable utilization, peak-awa…

Shen Xiaowang

This paper criticizes the IEA's energy outlook for failing to incorporate climate carrying capacity as a physical constraint, and proposes the REMC model and GCSOS framework based on Prim-Lex Theory. It redefines 'energy security' as sustai…

Felix Michelet

This paper exploits the expansion of the Spanish-French electricity interconnector to estimate the effect of market integration on CO2 emissions avoided by Spanish wind and electricity prices. Integration increased emissions avoided in Fran…
