| Abstract |
The future of digital transformation of industrial platform and electricity lies on the electrification, decentralization and digitalization. Technologies are becoming commercially available to systems and services that can enable efficient and sustainable management of energy production and use. In short, smart cities can be defined as a city that uses ICTs solutions such as smart sensors, cognitive learning, and context awareness to make life more comfortable, more efficient and more sustainable. A smart city is a sustainable and efficient urban center providing its inhabitants with a high quality of life through optimal management resources. This study examines how intelligent technologies and services can integrate local energy production and use to provide a more sustainable and efficient system. Due to rapid urbanization, energy management in smart cities is an essential challenge to tackle. Due to the complexity of the energy systems and their vital role, energy management is one of the most demanding issues within urban centers. Therefore, this problem needs to be devoted to considerable attention and effort. Optimized operations using predictive analytics, data mining and modeling are the main tools commonly used to evaluate the technological and policy impacts of smart solutions, as well as to plan the best ways to move from current to smarter cities. The reviews show energy-related work on smart city planning and operating models by classifying their scope into main areas of intervention: energy generation, infrastructure, energy storage, mobile internet, cloud technology, internet of things (IoT), autonomous and near autonomous vehicles, facilities, and intelligent transport system. |
