From the above efforts, the analysis of energy networks through power flows is
the most encouraging and serves as basis for developing the time-coordinated opti-
mal power flow (TCOPF). Overall, combined power flow research conducted thus
far aims to comprehend the potential of providing financial signals for a better man-
agement of assets. No generic integrated optimal power flow framework is stated
in these works; however, they do provide useful electricity and gas network analo-
gies which were first reported by gas engineers [171]. In conclusion, modelling tools
of interconnected infrastructures are rudimentary today; therefore, many opportuni-
ties exist to enrich this novel field of research. Figure 2.6 summarises the reviewed
approaches to model multiple energy networks and how these have influenced the
TCOPF framework developed in the following chapters.
