James Keirstead "Modelling Approaches to Urban Energy Systems: Optimization, Simulation, and More"
Update: 2012-04-24
Description
Abstract: Cities account for approximately two-thirds of global primary energy demand and accordingly, there has been an increased focus on modelling urban energy supply and demand. In this talk, Dr. Keirstead will present some results from the BP Urban Energy Systems project at Imperial College London and look at what's been happening in the field at large. The emerging picture is one of hybrid methodologies, specifically combining optimization and simulation techniques to develop an understanding of urban energy use from initial master planning through to daily operations.
Biography: Dr James Keirstead is a Lecturer in the Department of Civil and Environmental Engineering, Imperial College London. His research focuses on the integrated modelling of urban energy systems and the links between urban form, consumer behaviour, public policy, technical systems, and resource consumption. He is a Chartered Engineer and Member of the Energy Institute, Board Member of the International Society for Industrial Ecology's Sustainable Urban Systems section, and a Member of the British Institute of Energy Economics.
