Sustainable cities: An analysis of the contribution made by renewable energy under the umbrella of urban metabolism

Abstract: The advantages and limitations of renewable energy have been discussed in various studies with an aim to increase its participation within the national energy mix. Options are being sought to encourage its use, mainly with the deployment of large-scale installations, which in many cases are farther from the centers of consumption. Such approach does not reduce neither the losses associated with transportation nor the lack of empathy of urban society with the externalities produced in areas placed far from the … Show more

“…In terms of energy systems, a vast majority of cities have been built without considering the endogenous energy option; thus, the buildings do not incorporate passive or active energy systems [52]. Creating efficient management of energy and materials for the development of urban infrastructure that reduces the constant requirement of these inputs remains a challenge for the circular cities of the future [22].…”

“…Determining the flow of energy carriers is one of the first step to propose changes in the management of energy locally. Once renewable technologies that can meet current demands are identified, it is possible to create local energy scenarios and by using sustainability indicators proposed options can be formulated [10]. In assessing the potential of PV-battery system, Luthander et al [11] report the importance of the daily and seasonal matching between local energy production and consumption, using two indicators to express the load matching potential.…”
