--- res: bibo_abstract: - Requirements for energy distribution networks are changing fast due to the growing share of renewable energy, increasing electrification, and novel consumer and asset technologies. Since uncertainties about future developments increase planning difficulty, flexibility potentials such as synergies between the electricity, gas, heat, and transport sector often remain unused. In this paper, we therefore present a novel module-based concept for a decision support system that helps distribution network planners to identify cross-sectoral synergies and to select optimal network assets such as transformers, cables, pipes, energy storage systems or energy conversion technology. The concept enables long-term transformation plans and supports distribution network planners in designing reliable, sustainable and cost-efficient distribution networks for future demands.@eng bibo_authorlist: - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Jonas foaf_name: Kirchhoff, Jonas foaf_surname: Kirchhoff foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=39928 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Sascha Christian foaf_name: Burmeister, Sascha Christian foaf_surname: Burmeister foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=32685 - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Christoph foaf_name: Weskamp, Christoph foaf_surname: Weskamp - foaf_Person: foaf_givenName: Gregor foaf_name: Engels, Gregor foaf_surname: Engels foaf_workInfoHomepage: http://www.librecat.org/personId=107 dct_date: 2021^xs_gYear dct_language: eng dct_title: Towards a Decision Support System for Cross-Sectoral Energy Distribution Network Planning@ ...
