This report refers to Work Package 3. Task 3.1 of the SURECITY project. It presents the first part of the generic TIMES-City model in which the users provide input. The model has been developed for this project and to be implemented in three partner cities, namely, Almada, Judenburg and Malmö.

The TIMES-City model represents a generic city energy system; supply technologies and their infrastructure and the demand technologies used in buildings, transportation and industry. The model here presented is the result of the information compiled in Work Package 1 (WP1- User requirements and ICT specification) and Work Package 2 (WP2- Status quo of the demonstration cases). WP1 clarified the needs of the small and medium cities to be modelled and WP2 compiled the available information to be input into the model regarding the status quo of the demonstration sites in terms of energy system and transport infrastructure, usage, GHG emissions and air quality. In this report the existing users and future cities are guided on how to provide input the model. The structure of the files and the data needed for the model are given for the demand sectors mentioned above.

All in all, this report defines the demand and supply technologies used in TIMES-City model and how to populate it with the data. Thus, it is a useful manual for the project’s partner cities and future users.
