Overall Conclusion and Future Research

The objectives of this chapter are: (1) Summarise and present the main outcomes. (2) Present detailed concluding remarks for the different chapters. (3) Present future work.

Evaluation and Discussion

The objectives of this chapter are: (1) Provide feedback on the implementation of different modelling methods in different domains according to quality factors. (2) Discuss the evaluation of PRSUA and FSUA according to quality factors. (3) Present trades-off among PRSUA, FSUA and a commonly used deterministic approach according to quality factors.

Conceptual Basis of Uncertainty in IEPCT

The objectives of this chapter are: (1) Presentation of the need for incorporating uncertainty analysis in IEPCT. (2) Presentation of a conceptual basis of uncertainty and a typology of uncertainty in context of IEPCT. (3) Showing the current state of IEPCT studies coping with uncertainties explicitly.

3-Domain Modelling

The objectives of this chapter are: (1) Presentation of a 3-domain Metasystem framework, which allows the identification of appropriate modelling approaches while considering not only the system but also the multiple study perspectives and planning constraints such as limited expertise or data. (2) Discussion of the 3-domain modelling concept, an integrated concept of different modelling methods used in different domains. (3) Providing a mapping between different modelling approaches and different domains and use cases on the basis of literature discussions and experiences.

Multi-method Approaches for Uncertainty Analysis

The objectives of this chapter are: (1) Demonstrating the principles of design of uncertainty analysis methodologies. (2) Identifying and formulating analytical sophistication degrees for uncertainty analysis in the context of IEPCT. (3) Suggesting and implementing quality factors for evaluation of uncertainty analysis methods and methodologies, thus creating an extensive review of different methods. (4) Presenting two different multi-method approaches for uncertainty analysis based on probabilistic and fuzzy set theory. (5) Providing a review of the methods and methodologies for uncertainty analysis.

Implementation of Discussed Uncertainty Analysis Approaches in Case Studies

The objectives of this chapter are (1) Presentation of the implementation of the 3-domain modelling notion in different Use Cases and discussing some of the results. (2) Demonstrating the implementation of multi-method approaches for uncertainty analysis: FSUA and PRSUA in different Use Cases. (3) Discussing the return of the experience and results generated by the modelling and uncertainty analysis approaches

Energy Infrastructure Planning in Cities and Territories, Quality Factors of Methods for Infrastructure Planning

The objectives of this chapter are (1) Presentation of integrated energy planning in cities and territories, different phases, steps and general tasks.
