Urban Energy System Analysis Based on Scenario Settings

In contemporary urban construction, the priority is to conform to the urban development needs in accordance with ecological and low-carbon requirements. At the initial stages of planning a new town, energy planning and analysis, and establishing sustainable energy development strategies are necessary to fulfil the requirements of an ideal ecological city. Therefore, to meet the urban planning requirements, energy planning often requires the determination of energy consumption index, and the knowledge of local energy demands and natural and social environments (to build a reasonable energy structure), adjusted through the evaluation, design, and optimization of the construction of ecological cities. This study explores energy planning through an analysis of the application of energy sources in the planning of the eco-city Jinan. Based on an investigation of the current situation, combined with the related national and local policies, laws, and regulations/standards, the energy consumption scenarios of the ecological city zone will be set up in the future; the energy demand will be forecasted, and an energy efficient and rational utilization plan will be made. In the process of energy planning, setting of energy scenarios and scenario analysis are the key activities in energy consumption forecasting.
