What is a multi carrier energy system?

A multi carrier energy system is a network that integrates multiple energy carriers, such as electricity, heat, and fuels, in a flexible and interconnected manner to optimize energy transfer, storage, and utilization. By utilizing various energy carriers, this system can promote energy efficiency, resilience, and sustainability by balancing the supply and demand of different types of energy sources. This approach allows for more reliable and cost-effective energy management, as well as the integration of renewable energy sources into the grid.
