The Framework of Urban Energy Map and Case Study

Abstract

Urban energy map is an energy solution that combines map elements and energy elements, including information of energy exploration and production, processing and transformation, transmission and distribution, consumption and other links, and is an important part of the construction of energy Internet. This paper proposes the overall framework and basic functions of urban energy map, which include three parts: Data layer, technology layer and interaction layer. Taking geographic information system (GIS) as the spatial support technology, and based on the industrial enterprise energy data collected by Spatiotemporal database of China energy flow and carbon emission (SDCEC) and other relevant data from Suzhou Smart Energy Management Platform, the energy map of Suzhou New District is drawn and its characteristics are analysed. The research shows that the urban energy map can effectively reflect the spatial concentration, pattern change, and ranking of urban energy consumption.
