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.
A novel economic optimal control strategy from CITIES / DTU Compute & Krüger A/S suggests that the power consumption in wastewater treatment can be flexible since the water is treated in large tanks with long retention times where specialized aeration equipment is repeatedly switched on and off. Download for free the next few weeks! By controlling these switching …
Et forslag fra professor og centerleder i CITIES Henrik Madsen samt lektor Karl Sperling og professor Brian Vad Mathiesen fra Aalborg Universitet foreslår, at Danmark indfører CO2-afgifter og lader pengene indgå i en CO2-fond, der støtter industriens grønne omstilling. Forslaget bygger bro mellem Klimarådets forslag om og Dansk Industris afvisning af en indførelse af klimaafgifter …
Earlier this week, Professor and Centre Leader at DTU Compute Henrik Madsen was awarded with the prize for the best Senior Presentation at the 5th International Conference on Smart Energy Systems in Copenhagen. The presentation ’Perspective in Using Meter Data for Temperature Optimization’ was based on knowledge from the project CITIES, Smart Cities Accelerator, IDASC …
