Abstract: Interactions between different energy carriers (electricity, heat and gas) are considered beneficial for using renewable energy and reducing carbon emissions in the energy system. Nevertheless, the establishment of such hybrid grids or systems, also called multi-, integrated or smart energy systems, remains relatively unexplored. The concept is characterised by great complexity, questioning the common isolated view of energy grids. This paper analyses the changing requirements from historically grown, isolated energy grids towards renewable hybrid energy systems and the associated potential and challenges.
