A tool for practical planning of smart urban districts has been developed, considering integration into sustainable energy supply. It is based on dynamic energy simulation in high resolution, focusing on sector coupling and individual control strategies in a simple workflow. It provides energy flows and climate balances of individual scenarios. The model includes district grids, all essential supply systems, energy storages and electrolysis (power to gas). The tool was successfully applied to implement an innovative energy concept and to realize one of the first climate neutral operated urban districts in Esslingen Germany.
