APSEC 2019 Highlights



APEC Sustainable Energy Center (APSEC) was established at the 11th APEC Energy

Ministerial Meeting in 2014, and mentioned in the 22nd APEC Leaders‘ Declaration. It is

a major achievement of the Chinese government responding positively to the initiative of

APEC leaders to participate in energy cooperation in APEC region.

Basic facts about urbanization

Six of the twelve biggest cities

of the world are in APECCities are engines of

economic growth

More than 90% of all supertall

builings (>300 meters) being

constructed, planned or

envisioned are in APEC cities

Additional traffic lanes do not

necessarily diminish congestion

Lack of growth


Sustainability deficits of APEC cities

Sustainability deficitsGeneral lack

of

circularity

Insufficient disaster

resilience

Lack of decoupling of

CO2

emissions from economic

growth

Danger of slum

formation

Lack of

city statistics


Policy Responses by the UN (2015 – 2030)

Concretized by


APEC Policy Responses on Energy

APEC Energy Ministers Meeting Beijing

2014: “We aspire to the goal of doubling

the share of renewables in the APEC

energy mix, including in power

generation, from 2010 levels by 2030”.

“We will create low-carbon

communities in the region”.

2010: ESCI, LCMT


APEC Policy Responses on DRR and Urbanization

2014 Leaders’ Declaration on

Asia-Pacific Urbanization

Partnership

APEC 2015 Framework for

Disaster Risk Reduction

DRR


Results-Oriented Cooperative Strategy

Objectives:

• scale up APEC sustainable urbanization

• Synergize resilience with better economic performance, social inclusiveness and less

environmental impact

Core Value (SDG 11.b): (NB: Deadline set to 2020)

“By 2020, substantially increase the number of cities and human settlements adopting

and implementing integrated policies and plans towards inclusion, resource efficiency,

mitigation and adaptation to climate change, resilience to disasters, and develop and

implement, in line with the Sendai Framework for Disaster Risk Reduction 2015 – 2030,

holistic disaster risk management at all levels”.

Main idea:

• Monitor progress of volunteering APEC cities towards attaining APEC goals

Objective: Search for Best Integrated Urban Practices for APEC Cities

Further Steps Towards Sustainability

Provide assistance to cities at each step


Selecting APEC cities

Geographic diversity within APEC: at least one city from each APEC sub-region; build

upon the existing APSEC City Network CNSC

City size: Representing a mix of very large, large, medium and small cities

Sustainability Deficit: High Disaster Risk OR High per capita CO2 emissions OR High

energy intensity

Low level of Integrated Urban Planning: neither member of C40 nor GCoM nor GPSC

Enhancing city-to-city cooperation: choose one advanced city as knowledge partner

For case studies on Integrated Urban Planning of 6 - 12 APEC cities: self-funded

project to be submitted to EWG

For Results-Oriented Monitoring of 24 – 30 APEC cities : third party funded project

Annual Flagship event of APSEC

Self-Funded Project EWG 03 2018S Cloud-based sharing

platform on Multi-energy Microgrid (CM2)VISION :

Establish a world-leading sustainable research ecosystem of multi-energy Microgrids

GOAL :

Based on CM2, We plan to set up and maintain a 5-Dimensional Cloud-based platform of Campus Multi-Energy

Microgrids.

1st Dimension: Connect real or lab multi-energy Microgrids to the platform, and share information about the

Microgrids among partners.

2nd Dimension: The raw data obtained is processed to form typical case study systems of multi-energy

Microgrids and also to provide formatted data sets (e.g. PV data, energy demand).

3rd Dimension: Energy management tools can be provided for a better Microgrid monitoring, operation and

visualization. The visualization of system operation and system performance will be shared among partners.

4th and 5th Dimension through Cloud:

4D: Partners voluntarily share their own fundamental tools and source codes on the Cloud platform.

5D: Partners voluntarily share their own advanced optimization and control tools.

Jointed research & publications are facilitated based on these shared tools.

ACTIVITIES AND BENEFITS :

Develop and facilitate joint research in this area and in more research institutions.

Organize workshops and symposiums to facilitate effective communication and dissemination.

Initiate joint research grant applications among partners.

Inform industry and policy-makers on the potential, key technologies and performance of multi-

energy Microgrids.

Provide skilled workforce for the current global energy revolution.

REQUIREMENTS :

Partner has a team to carry out the related research and development in Microgrids and

integrated multi-energy systems.

Connects its Microgrid to the Could platform (desirable but not compulsory), shares data and

R&D results, and be willing to collaborate with other partners.

Organizes or takes part in organizing session(s), symposium, and so on.

CM2 platform is an important contribution of an APEC self-funded project “Proposal on the Establishment of Cloud-based Sharing Platform of

Microgrids”. This project aims to establish a world-leading cloud-based sharing platform of Microgrids to grow the research community and

enhance the capability in the planning, operation and management of Microgrids for APEC economies.

This project is oversee by Professor ChengshanWANG of Tianjin University.

Multi-energy Microgrids are able to make a good use of local distributed energy resources, especially renewable energy, optimize the

synergies between different energy systems (e.g. electricity, gas, heating and cooling systems), enable the applications of novel techniques

(e.g. Peer to Peer energy sharing or trading) and provide services to other Microgrids or to the bulk energy networks. Multi-energy Microgrids

have the potential to change the paradigmof the whole energy system.
