Abstract
This paper presents to demonstrate a new tool for designing integrated municipal solid waste to energy systems in the urban environment, in determining how municipal solid waste can be used to generate energy rather than being disposed of in landfills and whether it will be economical to do so. A tool has been developed to design energy system in urban environment looking at the impact of urban form and layout on inhabitants behaviour which determines the demands for various resources, demands through a wide variety of energy conversion technologies sending municipal solid waste to landfill, the results show that the cost of energy provision can be reduced by up to 40% by using either anaerobic digestion or gasification to convert the waste to energy, assuming sufficient waste is available from neighbouring town. This paper highlights the benefits of using a modelling approach for investigating the feasibility of different urban energy systems. It also quantifies the impact that an integrated municipal solid waste to energy strategy can have on the overall environmental sustainability and economics of a city.
