Abstract

With increasing dual pressure from global large energy consumption and environmental protection, multiple integrated energy systems (IESs) can provide more effective ways to achieve better energy utilization performance. However, in actual circumstances, many challenges have been brought to coupling multiple energy sources along with the uncertainty of each generated power to achieve efficient operation of IESs. To resolve this problem, this article reviews primary research on integrated energy optimization and scheduling technology to give constructive guidance in power systems. Firstly, the conceptual composition and classification of IESs are presented. Secondly, the coupling relationship between multiple energy sources based on mathematical expression is studied deeply. Thirdly, the scheduling of IESs with different types and regions is classified, analyzed, and summarized for clarification. Fourthly, on this basis, potential solutions for applications of key optimization technologies involved in the scheduling process in IESs can be found systematically. Finally, the future development trends to optimize scheduling integrated energy systems is explored and prospected in depth.
