The project on energy supply modelling in cities aim to develop, model and evaluate scenarious of cities in order to increase efficiency and integration of systems while at the same time minimizing CO2 emissions and socioeconomic costs.
Denmark has established the target of becoming independent of fossil fuels in the electricity and heating sectors by 2035 and of becoming fully independent of fossil fuels on a net annual basis by 2050. Such targets can only be met with a strong policy making, not only on a national level but also on more local administration levels. Most municipalities in Denmark have established their own vision and targets for making their energy systems more sustainable. Among these is the municipality of Sønderborg
in Southern Denmark, which is used as a case in this solution project.
Further description and insights into the project is coming soon.
Last week Smart Cities Accelerator with center leader for CITIES Henrik Madsen participated at the Danish Folkemødet. Henrik Madsen talked about the new research from the SmartNet project where it has been possible to create coherence between the surplus production of wind energy especially at night and the local electricity consumption in 30 holiday homes …
EnergyPLAN is a model developed to analyse the energy, environmental, and economic impact of various energy strategies. The key objective is to model a variety of options to compare with one another, rather than model one ‘optimum’ solution based on defined preconditions. Using this methodology, it is possible to illustrate a palette of options for …
The Heat Pump Controller is a price responsive predictive controller for heat pumps in domestic houses. With the new controller, energy costs can be reduced by demand modelling and controlling of the heat pump. By means of flexible demand side response, a balance between energy production and consumption is achieved using a market price responsive …
