Réseaux de distribution de l’énergie et sobriété énergétique des territoires, les apports d’une approche thermodynamique et métabolique des systèmes territoriaux

In the context of energy transition and current environmental crisis, the interest of local and systemic approaches to energy issues seems admitted today. However, despite the many advances in all technology areas both in terms of planning and development or even in terms of psycho-social and behavioral approaches, the curves of energy consumption are struggling to curb. With this in mind, we hypothesize, based on theoretical elements from thermodynamics and biology, the potential role of energy distribution networks, their characteristics, their morphology and dynamics thus promoting increasingly efficient territorial organizations and operations
