The transformation of energy systems towards sustainable, resilient, and sector-coupled infrastructures requires innovative approaches for the holistic planning of integrated energy networks. In particular, the coupling of electricity, heat, and gas sectors enables more efficient utilization of renewable energy sources, while simultaneously introducing new challenges in system design, modeling, and long-term infrastructure development. Following this vision, ieet focuses on the following key topics:
Methods and tools for integrated planning of electricity, heat, and gas networks
Resilience-, economic-, and sustainability-oriented planning strategies for coupled energy systems
Modeling, simulation, and validation of cyber-physical integrated energy systems
Planning of energy storage integration and power-electronics-dominated components in future energy systems
