Techno-Economic Optimization of Sector Coupling in Energy Systems
Funding: Innovation Fund Denmark- Industrial PhD
This PhD project develops a holistic methodology for optimizing sector-coupled energy systems to support strategic business decision-making in the green-energy transition. Focusing on techno-economic evaluation, it examines how different configurations of energy flows — such as electricity, district heating, cooling, and hydrogen — can create synergies and value across multiple sectors. The research also investigates the commercial benefits, risks, and distribution of impacts among stakeholders, as well as organizational and regulatory constraints that influence implementation. The aim is to enable structured, data-driven investment decisions that improve performance and strengthen strategic business cases for sector-coupled systems.
