Energy
Energy Strategies in the World Today the energy is a huge market that is the totality of all of the industries involved in the production and sale of energy, including fuel extraction, manufacturing, refining and distribution. Modern society consumes large amounts of fuel, and the energy industry is a crucial part of the infrastructure and maintenance of society in almost all countries. The energy is moved with ships, pipelines all over the world to supply energy requirements. Today primary energy sources take many forms, including nuclear energy, fossil energy - like oil, coal and natural gas - and renewable sources -like wind, solar and hydropower-. These primary sources are converted to electricity, a secondary energy source, which flows through power lines and other transmission infrastructure to your home and business. Power stations were located strategically to be close to fossil fuel reserves (either the mines or wells themselves, or else close to rail, road or port supply lines). Siting of hydro-electric dams in mountain areas also strongly influenced the structure of the emerging grid. Nuclear power plants were sited for availability of cooling water. Finally, fossil fuel-fired power stations were initially very polluting and were sited as far as economically possible from population centres once electricity distribution networks permitted it. By the late 1960s, the electricity grid reached the overwhelming majority of the population of developed countries, with only outlying regional areas remaining ‘off-grid’. negentropy (information, goods, services)

Energy Consumption and Cities Technological limitations on metering no longer force peak power prices to be averaged out and passed on to all consumers equally. In parallel, growing concerns over environmental damage from fossil-fired power stations has led to a desire to use large amounts of renewable energy. Dominant forms such as wind power and solar power are highly variable, and so the need for more sophisticated control systems became apparent, to facilitate the connection of sources to the otherwise highly controllable grid. Power from photovoltaic cells (and to a lesser extent wind turbines) has also, significantly, called into question the imperative for large, centralised power stations. It is important to understand which sectors consume the most energy to take appropriate remedial actions for emissions reduction. It is helpful to view cities as organic systems that have their own metabolism.The metabolism of a city involves physical inputs – energy, water and materials – that are consumed and transformed, by means of technological and biological systems, into wastes and goods, or the city’s outputs. Like any thermodynamic system, urban energy consumption can either be efficient or inefficient. An environmentally successful and energy efficient –or sustainable– neighborhood should ideally combine economic growth with social equity and minimum waste production.

industry
New cities, or city districts, still to be built can be engineered from the outset to a compact integrated ideal. For older cities where design is already hard-wired, existing infrastructure may make ideal development impractical and excessively costly. Well targeted and affordable retrofitting will help. A sprawling metropolis ,for example, may focus on decarbonising the car fleet, improvements to public transport, and micro-power generation that works well in areas of lower-density housing. This graph1 classifies the worldwide cities by the urban texture, public transportation and income. Then analyse the energy uses by the activities. Per capita energy use in these cities is comparatively high as a direct result of higher personal incomes, compounded by some urban sprawl and larger homes. In part because of large, spacious homes and extensive road networks that encourage car use, energy consumption in prosperous communities is concentrated in housing and transport. 1- Shell New Lenses On Future Cities
energy consumption per capita
Energy consumption is directly related with urban model and citizens behaviours. Housing amounts, transportation system, industry, energy sources, population in other words urban model shape cities’ energy consumption numbers and strategies. In this graph; Energy consumptions per capita amount of compact cities like New York, Hong Kong are less than sprawling cities like Houston. It is not surprised. Dense cities have compact urban model and advanced public transportation network, hence, motorization and house sizes are less than others.

Criteria of energy model of Self-Sufficient Neighbourhood
Energy production is not stabile in a day and in a year . Hence, we need to storage over production electricity and heating to supply energy need during year. After capacity and urban scale researches, li-ion batteries are proposed for short term electricity storage. Hydrogen fuel batteries are used for seasonal electricity storage. Thermal Banks are able to keep hot water warm for long term. It is proposed to long term heating energy storage.

Nickel Cadium Battery
High- Power Supercapacitors
Photovoltaic solar panels, transparent solar panels and biogas generate electricity. Heating energy is supplied by solar thermal panels and biogas. High efficient photovoltaic solar panels are located high radiation surfaces. Low efficient transparent solar panels are combined with green houses and faรงades. Waste of self-sufficient Neigbourhood generates energy by biogas.
Local Production | Decentralised Model Energy production should be local. Over production shares between mix-used grids.

Flywheels
Different energy production and storage technologies are classified according to capacity and urban scale. Scale/capacity of energy units is the primary input to make a decision in our energy system model. Because, some of super efficient systems are not suitable for 1x1 km prototype. They need too much empty space or huge sources. Also, all technologies do not have same capacity and efficiency. Energy model decisions are based on this scale / capacity researches.
