2. 1. Energy Management in Smart Cities

   Author : Christian Francisco Calvillo Munoz; Lennart Söder; Alvaro Sanchez; José Villar; Rafael Cossent; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Energy system model; Smart city; Distributed energy resources; Distributed generation; EV; Metro; Energy markets; Planning and operation model; Energy Technology; Energiteknik;

   Abstract : Models and simulators have been widely used in urban contexts for many decades. The drawback of most current models is that they are normally designed for specific objectives, so the elements considered are limited and they do not take into account the potential synergies between related systems.

4. 2. Smart Cities and Climate Targets : Reducing cities' energy use with ICT and travel information

   Author : Anna Kramers; Mattias Höjer; Åsa Svenfelt; Anders Gullberg; Frans Berkhout; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; Informations- och kommunikationsteknik; Information and Communication Technology;

   Abstract : This thesis examines use of ICT in helping to reduce energy use in cities, thereby contributing to sustainable development and achievement of cities’ climate targets. It explores how targets can be developed in a consistent and transparent way, how to identify the main ICT ‘hotspots’ as regards reducing citizens’ energy use and how they can be included in city planning.

5. 3. The impact of an Electrification of Road Transportation on the Electricity system in Scandinavia

   Author : Maria Taljegård; Chalmers tekniska högskola; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; electric road systems; energy consumption; peak power; electric car; variation management; energy system modelling;

   Abstract : The transport sector needs to reduce CO2 emissions by replacing fossil fuels with low-carbon options. An electrification of the road transport sector through electric vehicles (EVs) with static charging; electric road systems (ERS); and using electricity to produce a fuel, are all suggested as possible options.

6. 4. How municipalities can work with digitalisation for environmental aims

   Author : Tina Ringenson; Mattias Höjer; Jenny Palm; KTH; []
   Keywords : TEKNIK OCH TEKNOLOGIER; ENGINEERING AND TECHNOLOGY; sustainability; municipalities; environmental aims; environmental goals; smart city; smart sustainable city; digitalisation; ICT4S;

   Abstract : Humanity is facing big environmental challenges. Apart from the climate changes, there is also an ongoing depletion of the natural resources necessary for our survival in general, and for highly electronics-dependant lifestyles especially. At the same time, both urbanisation and digitalisation are progressing at a rapid pace. READ MORE

7. 5. On the Feasibility of Reinforcement Learning in Single- and Multi-Agent Systems : The Cases of Indoor Climate and Prosumer Electricity Trading Communities
