It is arguable how much flexibility and efficiency from coupling different energy vectors through available technologies is exploited in current energy systems. In particular, in spite of the growing interest for the multi-energy concept, there are very few models capable of clearly explaining...

In district energy systems powered by Combined Heat and Power (CHP) plants, thermal storage can significantly increase CHP flexibility to respond to real time market signals and therefore improve the business case of such demand response schemes in a Smart Grid environment. However, main...
