![]() He also said that the simultaneous charging of 2 million electric cars would overload the grid, but that the load can be regulated by smart grids’ smart algorithms. It would be detrimental to power this additional consumption with electricity produced by coal power plants, Rajaković said, calling for a shift to renewable energy sources. Serbia has around 2 million cars, and if these all became electric cars, the country’s total energy consumption, currently below 30 TWh annually, would rise by 4 TWh, research shows. E-mobility should be powered by renewables, smart grids can regulate loadĪt the Smart Mobility panel, professor Nikola Rajaković of the University of Belgrade School of Electrical Engineering (ETF) spoke about how e-mobility helps resolve the problem of cities’ energy sustainability. The smart city concept is part of innovative solutions that need to be regulated under a new energy law, whose adoption is needed to align Serbia’s legislation with the EU’s Clean Energy for All Europeans package, said Aleksandra Tomić, president of the Serbian Parliamentary Energy Policy Forum and chairperson of the parliamentary finance committee, at the Smart Energy – Smart Grid panel, which examined challenges in renewable energy production and distribution. ![]() Models of electric trains produced by one of conference partners, CRRC Zhuzhou Locomotive Co., Ltd. He also discussed data showing that an efficient implementation of the smart city concept can save time spent in traffic by 15-30 minutes per person and cut water consumption by 25-80 liters per person a day. Opening the conference, Serbian minister without portfolio for innovation and technology development Nenad Popović cited the UN’s estimate according to which 70% of the global population will live in urban areas by 2025, a development requiring an urgent smart city transformation. The infrastructure needed to implement the smart city concept requires digitalization, the internet of things (IoT), and the use of blockchain, according to the Smart Connectivity panel, whose participants included representatives of tech companies Mainflux, Strawberry Energy, and Intracom Telecom. The smart city concept is part of innovative solutions that need to be regulated in Serbia through the adoption of a new energy law, while e-mobility, which is part of the concept, should be powered by renewables, not coal, according to panelists.Ī smart city digitally controls public transportation and utility services such as outdoor lighting, heating, and water supply to ensure efficient resource management, reduce pollution, improve traffic flow, and, consequently, improve the quality of life in urban areas. Urban sprawl requires and is driving a smart city transformation, according to the main messages of the Smart City SEE19 international conference held in Belgrade.
