## Abstract

Various embodiments include a method for determining a design of an energy system comprising: providing a plurality of values of a parameter of an optimization method using an extraction of the values according to a probability distribution of the parameter; specifying a respective single-target function of the energy system for each of the plurality of values; forming an overall target function using the single-target functions; and extremizing the overall target function using the optimization method.
