Project leaders for the CMA: Nadia MAÏZI and Edi ASSOUMOU
Since the end of 2013, the CMA has been participating in a new ANR project entitled “Dynamic Urban Systems” as part of the Sustainable Cities and Buildings programme.
The energy consumption of cities depends on the one hand on the numerical growth of the number of inhabitants, and on the other hand on the proliferation of urban needs (particularly those resulting from mobility and housing). The objective of the SUD project is to evaluate the long-term structural dynamics over a multi-year horizon while maintaining a detailed approach to the horo-seasonal nature of needs and its effect on the operational constraints of urban systems. To do this, three main energy flows at the urban scale are considered: thermal energy flows, electrical energy flows, and passenger flows in private cars for daily travel purposes. The envisaged SUD platform will then allow the simulation of different technical devices (PV, electric vehicle, storage) or tariffs at the urban scale. The project is coordinated by CITERES, the LET, IFSTTAR, ENERGIES DEMAIN, ARMINES, INNHOTEP, ENIA and LEMA for a period of 48 months. In particular, the CMA is integrating a methodology for estimating electrical load curves for each use into the SUD approach.
