Project manager for the CMA: Edi ASSOUMOU
The CitInES project, which began back in 2011, consists in creating a multi-scale, multi-energy tool to optimize energy performance for the attention of towns and large industrial complexes that allow them to define sustainable, reliable and profitable energy strategies in the long term. The relevance of this tool must be shown through its use in the Italian towns of Cesena and Bologna as well as in the Turkish oil refinery of Tupras, all three partners of the project with Artelys France, AIT Austria, INESC Portugal, Armines/CMA, Schneider Electric, ERVET Italy and INRIA
All vectors (electricity, gas, heat, …), uses (heating, air conditioning, lighting, transport, …) and energy sectors (residential, industrial, tertiary, and urban infrastructure) have been taken into account in order to obtain a holistic mapping of the energy behaviour of cities and industry. The analyses of energy strategies have integrated long-term risk analyses in order to obtain robust scenarios for the different possible parameters.
As part of this project, the CMA has developed the Long-Term Prospective Models of Energy Systems for the cities of Cesena and Bologna.
The project was completed in 2014 and published in 2015:
