Preface

This book is the synthesis of the results of several research activities during our previous 10 years of experience in energy planning and modelling. While some elements of this work have been published in a Ph.D. thesis, journals and proceedings of international conferences, until now there had been no single resource that described all of these works in a unified view. These scientific and practical experiences are the basis of this book. However, new observations and experiences have also been included, and the discussion is organized for a broad audience. The central problem discussed here is that the local infrastructure, e.g., energy systems, has numerous and diverse subsystems, nonlinear interactions, multiple scales and heterogeneity. Planning and modelling such systems over the long range is a complex task connected with different uncertainties. In addressing this problem,
