1 INSMART Integrative Energy Planning For Cities Low Carbon Futures: Analytical Framework Cesena (Italy) Deka Trikala (Greece) Évora (Portugal) Nottingham (U.K.) JoãoPedro Gouveia Luis Dias, JúliaSeixas,Sofia Simões 3 rd Energy for Sustainability Conference, Funchal, 8 th February 2017

2 1. Vision and Purpose VISION: Cities sustainable energy future are achievable by: bringing together cities, scientific and industrial organizations, considering the integration of the components of the city s energy system, selecting cost-effective options from multiple data sources and integrated tools, choosing the best social-accepted technologies and measures. PURPOSE: Design comprehensive data-driven methods for enhancing the city s sustainable planning addressing the current and future city energy needs, Implement an integrative planning tool to identify the optimum mix of short, medium and long term measures for a sustainable energy future for the city, Address the efficiency of energy flows across all city sectors taking spatial patterns and economic, environmental and social criteria Engage city agents to pave the implementation of priority actions.

3 2. Methods & tools for data-driven integrated energy planning 389 DOOR-TO-DOOR SURVEYS SMART METERS DOOR-TO- DOOR SURVEYS 460 SMART METERS Integrated City Energy Planning framework

4 2. Methods & tools for data-driven integrated energy planning Door-to-door Buildings and Transport and Mobility Surveys Comprehensive GIS energy city database (present situation and future scenarios) Cities buildings stock characterized and modeled through a typology approach (using Energy Plus modeling tools) Extensive data from smart meters (relying on a sample of the EDP Distribution S.A., INOVGRID project) Transport based energy and carbon model Integrated modeling with TIMES (The Integrated Markal-Efom System) technoeconomic optimization modeling tool. used to analyse the mix of measures required to meet sustainable energy targets Selected measures assessed with respect to non-technical criteria using a multicriteria decision making method (PROMEΤHEE (Preference Ranking Organization Method for the Enrichment of Evaluations) to address economic, environmental as well as social issues.

5 2. Methods & tools for data-driven integrated energy planning City Energy Planning structure and major outcomes

DOI: /EEM

15 4. Conclusions Comprehensive data gathering and processing steps are key to an integrative energy planning to deliver future sustainable energy pathways. The combination and integration of multi-scale data granularity: 15 minutes electricity consumption data from smart meters, monthly to annual statistical energy production and consumption data, Detailed energy modelling of buildings typologies, City transport characteristics and mobility flows, Door-to-door surveys, GIS tools, Participation of different levels of city stakeholders (municipality, utilities, transport companies, citizen groups, market associations) brings forward the main advantages of this methodology. The stakeholders participation at the different stages of the methodology is essential in assembling an acceptable, realistic and mostly beneficial city action plan. 15
