ELECTRICITY, NATURAL GAS, WATER, AND DISTRICT HEATING/
cooling systems are predominantly planned and operated independently.
However, it is increasingly recognized that integrated optimization and control of such systems at multiple spatiotemporal scales can bring significant
socioeconomic, operational efficiency, and environmental benefits. Accordingly, the concept of the multi-energy system is gaining considerable attention, with the overarching objectives of 1) uncovering fundamental gains (and
potential drawbacks) that emerge from the integrated operation of multiple
systems and 2) developing holistic yet computationally affordable optimization and control methods that maximize operational benefits, while 3)
acknowledging intrinsic interdependencies and quality-of-service requirements for each provider.
On a much broader scale, the main drivers for the integrated operation
of multiple infrastructures include the impetus toward a decarbonization of
various energy and transportation sectors and the potential for resolving the
so-called "energy quadrilemma" by putting forward integrated operational
