Abstract
We briefly review the general concept and expected market potential of microgrids, then discuss the
optimization challenges associated with planning local cross-sectorial energy systems. A fair technology-
neutral approach to this optimization task leads to a hard problem, which has to be tackled with
advanced methods of mathematical optimization.
The power of this approach is illustrated in a case study, concerning the replacement of heating systems
in an alpine valley. In this case study we see both the potential for cost reduction and for the reduction
of CO2 emissions by an integrated planning approach
