This paper presents the design and performance analysis of a decentralized energy sharing architecture for the Istanbul metropolitan area, conceptualized as the Istanbul Energy Internet. In order to accommodate the expanding fleet of electric vehicles, we suggest a multi-resource micro-hub design for signalized intersections that incorporates solar generation, battery storage, and wireless power transfer. Using a real-world dataset of 2,578 junctions, we identify a 2,251-node largest connected component to serve as the backbone for the proposed energy mesh. In our analysis, energy is autonomously redistributed throughout the network using a distributed consensus algorithm. According to simulation results, the suggested architecture offers a notable range gain of 2,86 km per charging stop while reducing peak daytime grid dependency to zero under baseline efficiency assumptions. This study offers a scalable blueprint for sustainable urban energy management in megacities.
