Dr Hamid Hosseini joined Newcastle University in 2017 as a postdoctoral research associate to the\u00a0EPSRC National Centre for Energy Systems Integration (CESI)<\/strong><\/a>.\u00a0 Since joining the team, Hamid has been actively involved in\u00a0research looking at planning, optimisation\u00a0and operational analysis\u00a0of integrated multi-vector energy networks. He also collaborated with a multi-disciplinary team on the UKRI Research and Innovation Infrastructure (RII) roadmap project, advising UKRI on the current landscape and future roadmap of Energy RIIs. He has supported and collaborated with several CESI Flex Fund projects to investigate further various aspects of Energy Systems Integration (ESI). Moreover, he is working with the Executive Board of Northern Gas Networks to identify the potential energy systems challenges that could be investigated at the Customer Energy Village of the Integrated Transport Electricity Gas Research Laboratory (InTEGReL)<\/a>, through collaboration with a multi-disciplinary team of \u00a0energy experts in industry and academia.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The international aspiration to reach net zero carbon in\nenergy systems by 2050 is growing. In the UK, the government has set a target\nof \u2018Net Zero\u2019 Greenhouse Gas (GHG) emissions by 2050 in order to reduce\ncontribution to global warming [2]. This necessitates performing energy\nevaluation through a system-of-systems approach, in order to understand the\nintrinsic properties of the main layer\/sections of the Integrated Energy\nSystems (IESs), from natural resources and distribution to the final energy\nuser as well as the interactions and interdependencies within each layer\/section\n[3].<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This paper provides a systematic review of recent\npublications on simulation and analysis of integrated multi-vector energy\nnetworks (rather than energy hubs) and carries this out through the lens of the\ninternationally accepted concept of the energy trilemma, i.e. Flexibility of\nOperation, Security of Supply and Affordability. The significant detail\nincluded in the paper and the link to the trilemma is required in order to\nidentify gaps and directions for an appropriate future applied research for facilitating\nthe path to a decarbonised economy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nA systematic literature review of nearly 200 published\npapers was carried out using keywords to analyse Integrated Energy Networks\n(IENs). The papers have a wide, international authorship (Figure 1),\nshowing that the topic of energy networks analysis is an important topic for\ngovernments around the world, as this supports meeting carbon reduction targets.  \n\n\n\n<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The reviewed papers were classified into three groups (i) Operational\nanalysis (ii) Optimal dispatch and (iii) Optimal planning, focussing on energy\nnetworks including gas, electricity and district heating networks as well as\ntheir interactions and interdependencies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A detailed evaluation of the energy trilemma was carried out for each of the three groups of papers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The paper looks at key findings, provides insights for the\nenergy research community towards pursuit of low carbon transition and makes\nrecommendations for future research priorities including: (i) development and\ndemonstration of cyber resilient smart energy management frameworks, (ii) ways\nto overcome organisational and regulatory barriers for future increased energy\nnetworks integration, (iii) uncertainty analysis of the future performance of\nIENs, (iv) potential economic value of energy systems integration and (v) deployment\nof smart multi-energy regions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
