This contribute proposes a methodology suitable for the design of 100 % renewable and smart energy cities for supporting the energy transition from current fossil fuelbased energy systems to future renewable-based systems. The presented design procedure relies on the criteria of local generation, smart flexibility, and sustainability. At this aim, the modelling of the urban energy scenarios adopts the holistic smart energy approach involving all energy sectors (i.e. heating, cooling, electricity, and transport) together with “connected island mode” operating conditions. This multistep methodology consists of setting the actual energy system on the collected data, defining the business-as-usual scenario, implementing the structure of the smart energy system, analysing a large number of configurations among 100% renewable alternatives, selecting electricity balance systems and identifying the best solutions. The strengths of the proposed procedures lie in the robustness of the EnergyPLAN hourly energy systems simulation model able to simulate complex smart energy systems with the cutting-edge technologies, and in the flexibility of multiple criteria decision analysis allowing to study the best alternatives. The final result is a reliable methodology that supports the design of renewable cities through a deep multiparameter analysis without setting a priori the target function, which allows great flexibility in the planning phase.
