Integration of centralized energy monitoring specifications into the planning process of a new urban development area: a step towards smart cities

Making cities smarter and more competitive is one of the major challenges of climate change and energy\ud security. Smart city initiatives have arisen Europe-wide to help cities to start planning their future in a\ud new way to become more sustainable and resilient. New business models need to be investigated to\ud foster local business development, innovative local administrations and industries, valorize the cultural\ud heritage and the research outcomes and promote community’s participation. This transition is even\ud more complex and necessary for sparsely populated regions with poor infrastructures in the buildings,\ud manufacturing and transport domains and with a multi-layer local governance (e.g. Italian Towns,\ud Provinces and Region). In this case, a widespread concept of smart city can be applied proposing\ud systematic strategies for urban innovation with a regional-wide perspective. This paper focuses on a\ud coordinated project aimed to promote smartness among local areas in a small region in Southern Italy\ud (Basilicata). The ‘Smart Basilicata’ project constitutes a unique example in which, by working together,\ud multi-layer public authorities, private enterprises, research organizations and universities drafted the\ud basis for a regional strategy for smart-related issues

“…Según la Agencia Internacional de la Energía [15] se refiere a la generación descentralizada como un sistema de recursos energéticos distribuidos (DER, siglas en inglés) conectados a una red de distribución. En contraste, en [16] este tipo de generación se refiere a las unidades de producción de energía que son autónomas, en la cual no hay interacción con otras unidades o sistemas. Por su parte, en [17] se explica que: "todos los sistemas descentralizados son distribuidos, pero un sistema distribuido no necesariamente es descentralizado".…”

Marco de referencia para la planificación de generación distribuida en zonas no interconectadasResumen-Se presenta una propuesta metodológica del diseño, desarrollo y aplicación para el apoyo a la toma de decisiones multicriterio (MCDM, por sus siglas en inglés) que permita planear un sistema de suministro eléctrico, teniendo en cuenta variables de impulso al desarrollo local de pequeñas poblaciones rurales o remotas, específicamente a través de un caso de estudio en los Llanos Orientales de Colombia. Para el efecto, se propone el uso de dos técnicas bien documentadas, como el Proceso Analítico Jerárquico (AHP, por sus siglas en inglés) y el método VIKOR, al tiempo que se aporta un cambio de paradigma en la planificación de los sistemas de generación distribuida, considerando para ello la inclusión integral de aspectos técnicos, económicos, sociales y ambientales. En esta propuesta, los decisores pueden observar comparativamente el comportamiento de los sistemas de suministro eléctrico, ya sea mediante la generación distribuida o mediante la extensión de las redes eléctricas.Palabras clave-Generación distribuida, toma de decisiones, análisis multiobjetivo, AHP, VIKOR Abstract-The authors present a suitable methodology to support designing, development and implementation in a Multicriteria Decision Making (MCDM) environment. This is done in order to perform planning of a power supply system that takes into account variables that boost local development of small rural or remote areas, specifically through a case study in the eastern plains of Colombia. The use of two well-known techniques such as Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and VIKOR techniques are applied as a new method to develop planning of distributed generation systems. Such method considers the inclusion of technical, economic, social and environmental aspects in order to guide planning tasks. In this proposal, decision makers are able to compare the performing of power systems, by either investing in electric distribution grid extension or by installing distributed generation electric systems. Keywords- INTRODUCCIÓNLa energía eléctrica es el motor de desarrollo que permite evolucionar a la humanidad como civilización, y también proporciona la clave de su equilibrio con el entorno natural. Es la carta de la desigualdad entre mundos sociales injustamente diferenciados [1]. La electricidad está presente en todos los sectores económicos y sociales, gracias a su gran variedad de aplicaciones, que van desde el alumbrado, calefacción o ventilación, hasta el campo de las telecomunicaciones, tecnologías de la información, procesos industriales, etc.[2] En el actual escenario energético, se consolida la creciente utilización de la energía eléctrica, frente a fuentes primarias como los combustibles fósi-les, las tecnologías de los sistemas de generación eléctrica distribuida, así como los sistemas de generación híbrida activa, lejos de conducirnos a una meta considerada generalmente como utópi-ca, establece las bases de un camino mediante la cual se podrá alcan...

“…At this stage of development, the point of emphasis and intervention begins to shift from innovation to application, from the back-office to front-line services, and in policy terms, the emphasis also shifts from the corporate to the civic, from the market to the community, and from the bureaucratic administration of the economy to a liberal democratic governance. Pol, O., Palensky, P., Kuh, C., Leutgöb, K., Page, J., Zucker, G., (2012) [159] The "Smart City" concept essentially advocates the integration of the components of an urban energy system (supply, distribution and demand; thermal, electrical and gas networks; heat and electricity generation; energy providers and end-users; planners, developers, policy makers and investors) to make it more energy efficient, less carbon intensive and more robust. This applies to the planning and implementation of the system (or more precisely of its transition to-wards becoming a "smart" urban energy system) as well as to its operation.…”

A smart city has developed gradually with the evolution of services and ICT technologies to achieve sustainability. Many academic and governmental documents reference this; however, there is no existing theoretical or empirical study on the characteristics of smart city services regarding sustainability. In this sense, this study aims to clarify characteristics of Conceptually Related Smart Cities (CRSCs) services from sustainability. The methodologies adopt a matrix taxonomy to sort the previous indicators in the first step. It also utilizes a keyword analysis based on a literature review to identify the characteristics of two concepts. Three outcomes result from the steps of theoretical structures. Firstly, this study develops SSC service indicators based on the synthesis of Sustainable Smart City (SSC) and Smart City and sustainable city. The second outcome is an identification of the relation between SSC services and Conceptually Related Smart Cities. Lastly, the study clarifies the significance of citizen engagement based on the evolutionary concept by typifying service development in the lens of sustainability in CRSCs. This study is worthwhile for understanding smart city services and managing different featured smart cities from a sustainability perspective.
