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.
The project solution on smart control of houses involves cloud-based solutions, data analytics, energy systems integration and smart buildings research. Further description and insights into the project is coming soon. In the meantime please read more here
CITIES is a part of CLEAN – a cleantech cluster. CLEAN works as a facilitator of high-value cooperation between parties, by bringing members closer to markets, customers and peers. CLEAN does not close deals. Last week Professor, research director and centre manager Henrik Madsen from CITIES and Smart Cities Accelerator participated at CLEAN’s annual meeting. …
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 …
