| Abstract | A smart city provides a high quality of life to its inhabitants through optimal management of its resources. By definition a smart city is equipped with smart infrastructure that provides improved quality of life with sustainable environment through smart built solutions. In their operation, smart cities would entail a highly reliable, energy efficient, and high-quality power; smart grid becomes obviously imperative. Energy management is demanded within such urban centers due to the complexity of the energy systems and their important role. Mathematical simulation and predictions are the major tools commonly used to assess the technological and policy impacts of smart solutions. Distributed energy systems can be represented in the form of microgrids and combined heat and power. As cities are developed to become smarter, energy form and access to it become consequently even more integral part of modern living forms. Newer energy systems must also be transformed to become increasingly more reliable and resilient. Solar cells and wind energy technologies remain the best candidates in terms of new major energy sources in smart cities even with their dependence on natural processes. These energy sources should remain the future backbone of smart energy systems. In fact, solar panels for practical applications in buildings have made such substantial jumps since their inception a few years ago that prices have remarkably dropped worldwide. However, the transition to a fuller solar-wind energy economy arrives with a drastic set of challenges, including inherent inefficiencies in current energy battery storage capabilities. This is particularly apparent in the transport sector, which has the most trouble when anticipating its energy transition. Considering the unavoidable intermittent nature of wind and solar energy supply within a day, week, month, traditional centralized power production, and distribution are questionable. If unchanged, it will be more difficult to maintain a robust energy provision. The integration of wind and solar into practical energy system in cities demands significant investment. © 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved. |
