Session 14: Urban climate and smart city energy systems
“城市气候与智慧城市能源系统”
The escalating challenge of urban heat islands (UHIs) has become a critical concern in modern cities, where dense infrastructure and anthropogenic activities exacerbate localized temperature increases. Concurrently, the rising energy demand in urban areas places immense strain on power grids, particularly during peak load periods. Addressing these issues requires innovative solutions that integrate smart city energy systems with sustainable technologies.
One promising approach is the adoption of distributed renewable energy sources, such as wind power, which can mitigate both carbon emissions and grid dependency. However, the intermittency of wind generation necessitates advanced energy storage and demand-response mechanisms to ensure stability. Here, carbon pricing emerges as a pivotal policy tool, incentivizing low-carbon transitions by internalizing environmental costs. By aligning economic signals with climate goals, cities can accelerate the deployment of clean energy infrastructure while reducing thermal loads.
This session explores the synergies between UHI mitigation, smart grid optimization, and carbon market mechanisms. It examines how interdisciplinary strategies—from urban greening to real-time energy pricing—can foster resilient, low-carbon cities. Through case studies and modeling, we demonstrate that a holistic approach to urban energy systems is not only feasible but essential for future climate adaptation.
