CITYOPT 1

Holistic simulation & optimisation of

energy systems in Smart Cities

CITYOPT

• Develop implementation and recommendation to carry conception, renovation and management of energy systems in neighborhood and cities

• The approach focuses on the user so it can ensure application and implementation respond to user different needs (citizens, decision maker, building manager...)

• 3 pilot sites will allow to test the CITYOPT solutions during the different phases of a neighborhoud lifecycle• Finland : during conception phase (new neighborhood to build)• Austria : during renovation phase (existing neighborhood to renovate)• France : during operation management phase (existing neighborood pre-

equipped)

Pilots

Combined heat power

CITYOPT

The project adresses energy system optimisation in

different licecycle phases, supported by a user-centered

design approach.

Stakeholders : - City decision makers facility involved in all project

phases- Managers- Citizens

The approach

CITYOPT

Within GRID4EU program, EDF has previously worked for NICE GRID, a 30M€ project equipping :

-Residential customers ERDF linky smart meters;- Tertiary buildings with netSeenergy meters; - Installing local photovoltaic energy production units and storage (thermal and battery) units all before the end of 2013.

Project was held in the city of CARROS, within Métropole NCA territory

From NICE GRID to CITYOPT

CITYOPT

Nice Côte d’Azur case study

10

CITYOPT

Focus on optimization scenarios related to demand response services, more especially load shedding, to reinforce the continuity of service in a fragile electricity supply network.

Users will play a key role by participating in the specifications (participatory design) of the technological solution (especially of user interfaces for impact visualisation), and behaviors will be carefully assessed during the test phase.

Helsinki Case Study

13

CITYOPT

Evaluate different electricity storage solutions/business models in the Kalasatama area of Helsinki.

Different technologies, sizing and placement of electric storage solutions will be analyzed and the optimal storage solution will be examined by using the CITYOPT applications.

The use of the applications in a district planning phase will be tested and analysed in this demonstration case.

Helsinki objectives

CITYOPT

Vienna Case Study

15

CITYOPT

Vienna objectives

AIT (Austrian Institute of Technology),RTA (Rail Tec Arsenal) and WWFF (Vienna

Business Agency), will investigate the optimal design and possible implementation of a concept to integrate the buildings, their existing energy supply and storage systems and use the waste heat to cover the office buildings demand for heating and cooling

Reduce RTA expenses for cooling

It will include the requirements on the thermal storage to match the time dependence of waste heat production with that of heat demand.

CITYOPT

Next steps for NCA pilot

– July 2014 – December 2014: Recruitment (50 households with electrical heating and smart meter)

– 1st semester 2015 : beginning of the experimentation

Conclusion

CITYOPT

Complete the existing « smart grid ready charter »

Build up for new projects H2020 : SNAPY (Santander and Nice

Associated to Promote a novel smarter citY concept)

Focus on the links between ICT, Energy Efficiency and user behaviour
