Gusain, D. (author), Cvetkovic, M. (author), Palensky, P. (author)The traditional methodology for conducting technical assessments of multi-energy systems involved using domain-specific modeling tools to focus on the energy sector of interest, while making simplifying assumptions about any coupled energy sector. This was acceptable since the interactions between energy domains were minimal. However, with...journal article 2022
