Unlike single-objectiva optimation, which sich a single best solution, MOO realzes that real- exterd problems almost always involve trade- ofs. For invance, reducting operationg costs might witt lowering carbourissions or improwing system ence. MOO doet note a single answer but rather a of optimal tradef solutos, known at phet the prétiet.
