A multi-objective optimization approach to integrated energy network co-planning

This paper presents a constrained multi-objective optimization approach for the simultaneous extension and operation planning of integrated energy networks. The integrated energy network comprises a district heating network, an electric energy network, a gas network, and decentralized heating technologies such as pellet boilers. The approach dissects the area of interest into zones. Each zone is represented by a novel model based on the energy hub concept. Therefore, the approach is scalable and allows for the planning of metropolitan areas. The zones are connected by overlying energy networks. The overlying energy networks and the zones are simulated for one year. The simulation is executed within an optimization. In addition, the approach is capable of accounting for the limits of the integrated energy network’s extension. Consequently, it allows for a realistic planning of future integrated energy networks.
