Abstract	This chapter reviews a selected set of approaches to urban energy systems study with a special focus on electrical power systems. It proposes urban energy systems as networks of multi-source hybrid energy hubs, where different energy flows are collected at the same bus and can be stored, delivered or transformed as needed. In many works, it is common to find operation and design issues solved for urban microgrids and energy hubs by means of highly efficient software tools often available as freeware. In this work, a wide overview of optimization software tools for microgrid analysis and planning is given. The most common optimization software tools are HOMER and DER-CAM, which can be used to run simulations of urban energy systems. All cited software tools, for both analysis and optimal design and operation, perform simulations referring to an energy planning point of view and none addresses the problem of linking energy features with contextual features. © ISTE Ltd 2017.
