abstract = {The electrification of heating, cooling, and transportation
to reach decarbonization targets calls for a rapid expansion
of renewable technologies. Due to their decentral and
intermittent nature, these technologies require robust
planning that considers non-technical constraints and
flexibility options to be integrated effectively. Energy
system models (ESMs) are frequently used to support
decision-makers in this planning process. In this study, 116
case studies of local, integrated ESMs are systematically
reviewed to identify best-practice approaches to model
flexibility and address non-technical constraints. Within
the sample, storage systems and sector coupling are the most
common types of flexibility. Sector coupling with the
transportation sector is rarely considered, specifically
with electric vehicles even though they could be used for
smart charging or vehicle-to-grid operation. Social aspects
are generally either completely neglected or modeled
exogenously. Lacking actor heterogeneity, which can lead to
unstable results in optimization models, can be addressed
through building-level information. A strong emphasis on
cost is found and while emissions are also frequently
reported, additional metrics such as imports or the share of
renewable generation are nearly entirely absent. To guide
future modeling, the paper concludes with a roadmap
highlighting flexibility and robustness options that either
represent low-hanging fruit or have a large impact on
results.},
