Call for Abstracts - Conference
Sustainable Urban Energy Systems
Technological prospects, citizen involvement and
governance arrangements
8th - 9th November 2018, Delft University of Technology, Netherlands
From 8th to 9th November 2018, TU Delft will host an international conference
on "Sustainable Urban Energy Systems - Technological prospects, citizen
involvement and governance arrangements". We aim to bring together researchers,
industry and policy makers to explore the technological, economic, ethical,
behavioral, governance and public policy aspects of urban energy systems.
Confirmed Key Note Speakers
Benjamin Sovacool (University of Sussex)
Peter Palensky (Delft University of Technology)
Holger Krawinkel (MVV Energie AG, Mannheim, Germany)
Erik ten Elshof (Ministry of Economic Affairs, Netherlands)
Theme
Urban energy systems are going through fundamental technological and societal
changes in the transition to sustainable energy systems. From being passive
agglomerations of energy consumption and environmental pollution, the future
energy provision of cities is deemed to be cleaner, smarter and closer to the
needs of citizens. For a successful transition towards sustainable urban energy
systems, technological and social innovations need to be aligned with the
underlying societal values and guided by the wider institutional and governance
context.
Topics include, but are not limited to:
· Governance, policy and regulation of urban energy systems
· Social innovations and local energy initiatives
· Responsible innovation in energy systems
· Energy justice and poverty
· Energy demand: energy demand side management, energy efficiency,
energy consumption and conservation
· Public engagement, controversies and conflicts in changing energy
systems, participatory methods, consumer empowerment
· Digitalization: smart grid, artificial intelligence and blockchain
technology
· Integration of energy systems: electricity, gas and heating
