Abstract: Abstract A new multi-criterial methodology is introduced for the combined structural and operational optimization of energy supply systems and production processes. The methodology combines a multi-criterial evolutionary optimizer for structural optimization with a code for the operational optimization and simulation. The genotype of the individuals is interpreted with a superstructure. The methodology is applied to three real world case studies: one communal and one industrial energy supply system, one distillation plant. The resulting Pareto fronts and potentials for cost reduction and ecological savings are discussed.
