Zusammenfassung
In Europe, the integration of decentralized renewable energy production in regional planning processes plays a
crucial role. In particular, regions face a major challenge in order to set up renewable decentralized energy systems
and incorporate them into the electricity grid. This paper presents a methodological concept and preliminary tests
of applications in order to create an optimization model for an improved renewable energy development and planning
practice: firstly, the energy potentials of micro renewable resources are estimated, and secondly the outcomes
are combined with an estimation of resulting environmental impacts. Including these data into the spatial analysis,
different scenarios can be developed in order to support decision making in landscape planning on the basis of
environmental and landscape criteria as well as energy issues, including technical aspects and costs. The case study
area is the Hannover region. First results show good energy potentials, which will be in a next step evaluated and
combined with environmental impacts in order to improve energy efficiency by integrating renewable, decentralized
power plants and energy mix.
