In the past, common energy infrastructuressuch as electricity and nat¬ ural gas Systems were mostly planned and operated independently. Mo-tivated by different reasons, a number of recent publications suggests an integrated view of energy Systems including multiple energy carriers, instead of focusing on a Single energy carrier. One incentive for that is given by the increasing utilization of gas-fired distributed generation, especially co- and trigeneration. The conversion of energy between dif¬ ferent carriers establishes a coupling of the corresponding power flows resulting in system interactions. The investigation of such phenomena requires the development of tools for an integrated analysis of multiple energy carrier Systems, which has become a recent field of research. This thesis presents a generic frameworkfor steady-state modeling and optimization of energy Systems including multiple energy carriers. The general system model includes conversion, storage, and transmission of various energy carriers. The couplings between the different infrastruc¬ tures are explicitly taken into account based on the concept of "energy hubs". Using this model, various integrated optimization problems are defined. For determining the optimal system Operation, multi-carrier optimal dispatch and optimal power flow approaches are developed. A general optimality condition for optimal dispatch of multiple energy car¬ riers is derived and cornpared with the Standard approach for electric¬ ity networks. Besides operational optimization, two approaches for the structural optimization of multi-carrier energy Systems are presented, which enable to estimate the optimal coupling of energy infrastructures. The modeis are demonstrated in a number of application examples, showing their basic characteristics and usefulness.
