This paper reviews the emergence and development of the “smart energy city” as an academic, normative, and applied concept. An examination of the academic literature since the early 2000s reveals the unfolding of spatiotemporal trends relating to this concept. It has been emerging to represent a sector-specified version of its sister concept of smart cities, also popularized in the past decade. However, the idea of the smart energy city has its own historic precursors and nationally specific trajectories. It rose from concerns with energy efficient/green buildings as well as smart grids for low carbon and distributed energy generation and distribution, which were later scaled up to the whole urban scale, and to embrace multiple other urban sectors and urban domains. By so doing, and combining the developments in ICT-led smart cities and sustainable energy, the notion of the smart energy city has come close to represent a digitally-mediated variant of low carbon cities. It can, thus, be conceptualized as a blend of smart cities and low carbon cities. National and urban case studies help to further distinguish “actually existing” projects, patterns, and conceptualization relating to both smart cities and smart energy cities and barriers to their practical integration. A greater focus on intersystem integration and a multistakeholder approach more recently offers a stronger representation of interdisciplinarity and conveys the complexity of the system involved, where humans and social systems become increasingly more central.

智慧能源城市:城市-能源-可持续性关系的演变

本文以学术性、规范性和应用性的概念来回顾“智慧能源城市”的产生和发展。对 2000 年代初期以来的学术文献的考察揭示了与这一概念相关的时空趋势的展开。它已经出现,代表了其姐妹智慧城市概念的特定部门版本,也在过去十年中得到了普及。然而,智慧能源城市的构想有其自身的历史先兆和国家特定的轨迹。它源于对节能/绿色建筑以及低碳和分布式能源生产和分配的智能电网的关注,后来扩展到整个城市规模,并包含多个其他城市部门和城市领域。通过这样做,结合信息通信技术引领的智慧城市和可持续能源的发展,智慧能源城市的概念几乎代表了低碳城市的数字媒介变体。因此,它可以被概念化为智慧城市和低碳城市的结合。国家和城市案例研究有助于进一步区分与智慧城市和智慧能源城市相关的“实际存在的”项目、模式和概念化及其实际整合的障碍。最近更加关注系统间集成和多利益相关方方法,提供了更强的跨学科代表性,并传达了所涉及系统的复杂性,其中人类和社会系统变得越来越重要。智慧能源城市的概念几乎代表了低碳城市的数字媒介变体。因此,它可以被概念化为智慧城市和低碳城市的结合。国家和城市案例研究有助于进一步区分与智慧城市和智慧能源城市相关的“实际存在的”项目、模式和概念化及其实际整合的障碍。最近更加关注系统间集成和多利益相关方方法,提供了更强的跨学科代表性,并传达了所涉及系统的复杂性,其中人类和社会系统变得越来越重要。智慧能源城市的概念几乎代表了低碳城市的数字媒介变体。因此,它可以被概念化为智慧城市和低碳城市的结合。国家和城市案例研究有助于进一步区分与智慧城市和智慧能源城市相关的“实际存在的”项目、模式和概念化及其实际整合的障碍。最近更加关注系统间集成和多利益相关方方法,提供了更强的跨学科代表性,并传达了所涉及系统的复杂性,其中人类和社会系统变得越来越重要。国家和城市案例研究有助于进一步区分与智慧城市和智慧能源城市相关的“实际存在的”项目、模式和概念化及其实际整合的障碍。最近更加关注系统间集成和多利益相关方方法,提供了更强的跨学科代表性,并传达了所涉及系统的复杂性,其中人类和社会系统变得越来越重要。国家和城市案例研究有助于进一步区分与智慧城市和智慧能源城市相关的“实际存在的”项目、模式和概念化及其实际整合的障碍。最近更加关注系统间集成和多利益相关方方法,提供了更强的跨学科代表性,并传达了所涉及系统的复杂性,其中人类和社会系统变得越来越重要。
