Innovative city and urban concepts How will the development of city systems looks like in future? Intelligent electrity grids Plus-energy-buildings/ communities Smart Mobility & E-mobility Climate oriented city development Smart Infrastructures& supply systems Renewable energymix
Supply systems Sustainable community energy systems Building systems Communities as energy systems
The LowEx approach for communities • Application of LowEx approach for optimization of community demand adapted supply. The very efficient so called low exergy supply and use are of particular interest (see green boxes).
Scope • Improvement of energy conversion chains on a community level • Significant reduction of energy demand and GHG-emissions • Integration of renewable heat and cold sources
Objectives • The focus is on technologies and innovative concepts using low valued energy sources (LowEx) and renewable energies for the heating and cooling of neighborhoods and cities. • The objective is to demonstrate the potential of low exergy thinking on a community level as energy and cost efficient solution in achieving 100% renewable and GHG emission-free energy systems. • This includes: • Storage concepts • Networks / grids • Control systems und strategies • Business concepts System integration!
