This potentially misses valuable synergies between them and does not consider in detail the distribution of benefits between different sectors or regions. This paper presents a framework to couple integrated water-power network simulators with multi-objective optimisation under uncertainty to explore the implications of explicitly including spatial topology and interdependencies in the design of multi-sector integrated systems. A synthetic case study that incorporates sectoral dependencies in resource allocation, operation of multi-purpose reservoirs and spatially distributed infrastructure selection in both systems is used. The importance of explicitly modelling the distribution of benefits across different sectors and regions is explored by comparing different spatially aggregated and disaggregated multi-objective optimisation formulations. The results show the disaggregated formulation identifies a diverse set of non-dominated portfolios that enables addressing the spatial and sectoral distribution of benefits, whilst the aggregated formulations arbitrarily induce unintended biases. The proposed disaggregated approach allows for detailed spatial design of interlinked water and energy systems considering their complex regional and sectoral trade-offs. The framework is intended to assist planners in real resource systems where diverse stakeholder groups are mindful of receiving their fair share of development benefits. date: 2020-07 date_type: published publisher: Elsevier BV official_url: https://doi.org/10.1016/j.apenergy.2020.114794 oa_status: green full_text_type: pub language: eng primo: open primo_central: open_green verified: verified_manual elements_id: 1782733 doi: 10.1016/j.apenergy.2020.114794 lyricists_name: Erfani, Tohid lyricists_name: Siddiqui, Afzal lyricists_id: TERFA00 lyricists_id: ASIDD11 actors_name: Flynn, Bernadette actors_id: BFFLY94 actors_role: owner full_text_status: public publication: Applied Energy volume: 269 article_number: 114794 issn: 0306-2619 citation: Gonzalez, JM; Tomlinson, JE; Harou, JJ; Martínez Ceseña, EA; Panteli, M; Bottacin-Busolin, A; Hurford, A; ...
