Political goals for the energy sector are ambitious, diverse and often incompatible. Moreover, the integration of all components will be intensified as a result of the smart grids movement - a fact that will considerably hamper decision-making. Without doubt, energy market players will face considerably higher risks than before. On the other hand, this expanding segment also offers many opportunities. Successful decision makers rely on system-oriented methods and tools to structure these optimization tasks. A systemic and systematic analysis of quantified chances and risks has become an indispensable basis for decision-making and at the same time a continuous, ongoing task of strategic planning. System modifications must be modeled, investment analyses performed and the effects of political constraints quantified. External effects – especially environmental effects – have to be analyzed and the allocation of scarce resources optimized. Modern decision processes are participatory. They are oriented at a rational basis and support decision-making with model-based methods.
