The project Highly Optimized Energy Systems (HOPE) is established to support the industry actors to develop solutions to increase energy efficiency within energy networks and advance cross-sectoral integration. Aim of the research is to develop tools and solutions for the multi-objective optimization of energy systems by taking into account the operating conditions and uncertainty. This enables optimization to be adapted to the prevailing conditions. Use of advanced weather forecasts aims to improve predictions on the state of energy devices and enable the inclusion of the uncertainty in the optimization. The integration of heat and electricity including production, distribution and demand aims to more efficient energy systems.
