The energy consumption of cities strongly influences national energy and climate policy priorities, so improving the efficiency of urban energy systems is an increasingly important issue. Energy is vital to the delivery of urban services and its role can be considered at many stages in the urban design process. It begins with the planning and layout of a new city, through to the socio-economic structure of the city and its activities, and the choice of energy carriers and technologies used to meet these demands. Unfortunately existing modelling technologies typically focus on only one of these components and are customized to a single problem context. We introduce a new tool kit named SynCity for analyzing such integrated urban energy systems and demonstrate it using the case of Shanghai Lingang New City in this paper. The methodology proves to be a powerful tool for assessing potentially convoluted resource chains and offers a promising low-cost solution for eco-city's energy system.
