The new ROBINSON H2020 Training Module is now open for registrations!

This tutorial presents a tool to optimally design such multi-energy systems on geographical islands. As such, a mixed integer linear program is formulated and solved to minimize costs and greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions while meeting the energy demands of given end-users. The central contribution of the tool is to evaluate costs and GHG emissions during the entire life cycle of multi-energy systems on geographical islands. This allows to evaluate trade-offs regarding a cost or environmentally optimal design now and in the future. Within this tutorial, the main steps of the (open-source) optimization tool are presented, so that it can be useful for future practitioners.
