Integrated Optimization Planning of Multiple Energy Stations for Low Carbon Operation

Under the background of low-carbon demand, an integrated energy system is the main direction of energy system development. Integrated Energy System (IES) breaks through technical, market and management barriers of traditional energy systems, and it makes unified planning and scheduling for electricity, gas, heat, cold, etc. However, IES contains a variety of energy forms, and those energy forms are coupled with each other. Its planning and operation are challenging problems. Therefore, this paper proposes an IES planning model, which comprehensively considers optimization of the equipment configuration, interconnection of multiple energy stations, renewable energy integration, and optimal operation strategy. During the planning decision-making, planners can use this model to analyze and evaluate the impact of various factors on the planning indicators. Using the proposed model, an IES composed of several buildings in a street block is planned in detail and the effectiveness of the proposed planning model and its solution method is proved. The case study results show the total cost and carbon emission of the model considering both energy station interconnection and RES integration are reduced by 20.2% and 41.5%.
