Abstract: The composition of urban districts - residential, commercial, or ‘mixed’ topologies - can have drastically different energy load profiles and peak demands, leading to altered optimal District Multi-Energy System (D-MES) designs. Although demand-influenced differences in D-MES designs are generally understood, there is a research gap of how the interplay of various storage technologies differs between topologies. In this paper, we investigate the extent of D-MES reliance on storage technologies over various district topologies in central Europe. The core of this analysis relies on a multi-objective MILP optimization model utilized in an uncertainty analysis framework.
