SUMMARY:Modelling Approaches to Urban Energy Systems: Optimization\, Simul
 ation\, and More - Dr. James Keirstead\, Research Fellow\, Department of C
 ivil and Environmental Engineering\, Imperial College London

CONTACT:Villian Lo
DESCRIPTION:Cities account for approximately two-thirds of global primary 
 energy demand and accordingly\, there has been an increased focus on model
 ling urban energy supply and demand. In this talk\, Dr. Keirstead will pre
 sent some results from the BP Urban Energy Systems project at Imperial Col
 lege London and look at what's been happening in the field at large. The e
 merging picture is one of hybrid methodologies\, specifically combining op
 timization and simulation techniques to develop an understanding of urban 
 energy use from initial master planning through to daily operations.
