Energy networks in sustainable cities: towards a lull integration of renewable systems in urban area
No full textThe European Commission is supporting many
projects intended to improve the use of renewable energy
sources and a special attention has been devoted to the case of
large scale urban areas. The project POLYCITY represents a
significant demonstration of this energy policy which is applied
to 3 cities: Barcelona, Stuttgart and Torino. The case of Torino
appears of particular relevance because it is dedicated to the
improvement of existing building and installations which is in
our opinion the most frequent situation. In particular the most
qualifying characteristic of Torino project is the installation of a
new combined heat and power generator (CHP) coupled with
the existing district heating and an absorption chiller in order to
supply energy more efficiently in a district which include the
Housing Authority of the Province of Torino (ATC) and 30
council buildings. The paper describes this project highlighting
the use of renewable sources and the initial results. The
preliminary assessment of our experiment will be discussed
according to socio-economic, environmental and energetic
indicators
