Overview of the fitness objectives and genes for the simulation (Dang, 2024)
| Fitness objectives | ||
|---|---|---|
| # | Objective | Definition |
| 1 | Minimise the overall length of the pipe network | This objective is formulated for costs and efficiency reasons |
| 2 | Minimise the number of isolated buildings | The objective aims to find solutions that converge towards a fully integrated cluster, where all buildings can transition away from natural gas |
| 3 | Minimise the absolute heat/cold imbalance for every cluster and isolated building | This objective helps examining the absolute imbalance within each cluster and isolated node |
| 4 | Minimise the number of clusters | This objective aims to interconnect clusters |
