Abstract
Integrated local multi-energy systems are recognized as a promising
option to achieve the ambitious energy and climate goals set by the
European Commission for 2030. The nature of integrated systems requires
a sound combination of interdisciplinary methodologies and complementary
tools. Creating an efficient architecture capable of exploiting
synergies between tools is therefore crucial for designing, analysing
and operating integrated energy systems. The joint application of
different tools needed for analysing a local system can be very
demanding and time-consuming due to vastly different data structures and
functionalities. To address the need for complementary tools, the aim of
this paper is to establish and test an integrated modelling architecture
allowing the interaction of tools into a modular toolbox for the optimal
planning of integrated local multi-energy systems, and also present key
preliminary outcomes.
