For multi-site organisations, informed decision making on capital investment aimed at improving energy performance and cutting carbon emissions, across a global site base, is a complex problem. This wor.
What is a smart multi energy system (SMES)?
If a MES is acting in the smart environment and equipped with smart devices (e.g. smart meters, sensors, actuators), communication infrastructures, and embedded smart energy management system, then it will be a smart multi energy system (SMES) [ 5 ]. All the multi energy systems mentioned in this paper are assumed as smart multi energy systems.
What is a multi energy system?
Multi energy systems in community or district level are located close to end-users. Various energy converters and energy storage devices are integrated in the MES, where energy can be converted, stored, and distributed.
How to design and optimize multi-energy systems in buildings?
A model to design and optimize multi-energy systems in buildings at the design concept stage Economic and environmental optimization model for the design and the operation of a combined heat and power distributed generation system in an urban area Structural and operational optimisation of distributed energy systems
Can multi-energy systems be built?
Thus, many countries around the world have developed ambitious plans for building multi-energy systems.
What is the optimal planning model for smart multi energy systems?
A generic structure planning model is proposed for smart multi energy systems. Renewables and energy storages are integrated in the optimal planning model. Sensitivity and comparative analyses are performed. Performances and advantages of the planning model are demonstrated.
Is multi energy system better than centralized energy system?
Simulation results show that the multi energy system (scheme 3) shows better economic and synergetic performances than the conventional centralized energy system (scheme 1) and the typical CCHP systems (scheme 2). Compared with scheme 1, the total annual and carbon emission costs of scheme 3 decrease by 35.21% and 55.34%, respectively.
