This paper presents a procedure for multiobjective management of complex energy hubs.In distributed energy production, many energy sources can be present at the same time in an energy node: combined production of electrical and thermal power, renewable energy sources, exchanges with external grids etc.. Several strategies can be devised to manage this system in order to fulfil user demands and other technical constraints.Beyond maximal economic revenue, which is the most used single objective criterion for energy management, environmental impact of the system must be also taken into account, thus a multiobjective method must be used.A procedure, based on the Pareto optimality concept, which can face at the same time economic and environmental objectives has been developed and applied to the study of a Combined Heat and Power node.Results obtained are shown and discussed.
