Abstract

Multi-energy microgrids provide a sustainable and efficient solution for meeting energy demand across sectors. However, determining the optimal capacities of distributed energy resources (DERs) is challenging due to renewable generation variability and the intricate coupling of energy systems. This study developed a multi-objective planning framework to balance system costs, renewable energy integration, and curtailment reduction in cold-climate regions like Norway. The optimization problem is solved using the Non-Dominated Sorting Genetic Algorithm-II (NSGA-II) and Technique for Order of Preference by Similarity to the Ideal Solution (TOPSIS), which enables decision-makers to select the best configuration based on predefined criteria.
