Smart Cities

Energy Modelling Series | Seminar 3

Featuring:
Elina Wanne | City of Espoo
Nikita Semkin | AFRY

This event will look at both modelling and applications of Smart City concepts. A practical modelling challenge in this field is how to efficiently model many energy subsystems which are directly and indirectly linked through electricity and fuel markets but that all need to decarbonize at the same time. These subsystems may include electricity generation, independent electricity and heating solutions, and multiple district heating networks. We will then look at examples of studies and practical applications in this field. Taking a special focus on the city of Espoo, we will look at the existing implementation and upcoming plans for applying innovative urban energy solutions.

This event is part of Aalto Energy Platform's monthly energy modelling seminar series.

How can energy modelling drive the sustainable energy transition?

How can we create models of future energy systems that can be used by policymakers, industry and societal stakeholders? How can we best design modelling exercises to steer the sustainable energy transition?

This series aims to look at the different aspects of modelling for energy systems, through technical modelling, analysis, and building of systems. The seminars will bring together guest speakers from industry with Aalto researchers to tackle these questions.  Each event in the series will treat a discrete field of modelling.
