One approach to overcome this challenge is the use of the given infrastructure of gas and district heating systems acting as buffer. However, not talking about simulating integrated multi-energy systems, especially the embedment of these in already existing systems is going to be a massive challenge in the future. In this paper, we introduce a way how systems widely used in different energy sectors can be combined and managed together. The approach follows a modular concept easily connecting well-known systems with new algorithms and model extensions. This shall be exemplified shown by creating an integrated multi-energy system consisting of an electrical and gas grid both modelled in PSS ® Sincal distributed by SIEMENS.enA modular approach for co-simulations of integrated multi-energy systemsconference paper
