Abstract

This article discusses the critical role of neighborhood-level energy hubs (NLEHs), demonstrating how enhanced structural and modeling approaches can optimize their capacity, directly contributing to Sustainable Development Goal 7 (SDG 7). For this, the paper examines NLEHs’ current and future directions to identify key trends, gaps, and opportunities across four primary dimensions. The first dimension discusses the system structure, including multi-carrier energy resources, energy demands, conversion technologies, and storage solutions. Then, the second dimension assesses various analysis methods, including dynamics modeling, operation and control, design and planning, reliability, and resilience. The final two dimensions focus on uncertainty modeling and the corresponding solving procedures for these systems. By synthesizing insights from a broad spectrum of recent studies within these dimensions, pathways for future research to advance toward more realistic, efficient, and sustainable frameworks, thereby accelerating progress toward the energy efficiency target outlined in SDG 7 are identified and argued.
