Abstract: This paper presents a new methodology that allows to define a 100% renewable smart energy system in a sustainable manner. The authors integrate the EnergyPlan with a mathematical model that analyzes the energy system from an exergetic point of view taking into account the exergy of the whole energy system and its components. Once multiple scenarios are obtained by EnergyPLAN, the exergetic model identifies the scenario characterized by the highest exergetic efficiency and the lowest energy wasting. This approach is a novelty since the “exergetic” optimization criterion coupled with EnergyPLAN software has never been utilized. Since the best energy system could not be economically attractive, this methodology might support Municipalities in setting up focused incentives to make the sustainable solutions the most cost effective too.
