Abstract

Multi-vector energy systems take into account synergies between different energy vectors (cooling/heat/electricity/gas), which will increase the flexibility for equalising the fluctuations from the renewable energy, and thus facilitate the penetration of renewable energy. This paper focuses on developing whole-system analysis and planning methods of energy conversion and storage devices in multi-vector energy systems, to achieve an overall optimum of energy systems.Various energy conversion and storage devices (such as photovoltaic, CHP, gas boilers, battery energy storage systems (BESS), ice storage and so forth) are planned coordinately as an integrated whole. According to the electricity demand during the planning period and the power and energy balance between supply and demand, the size of energy conversion and storage devices are determined to improve the energy efficiency and the energy supply reliability, as well as mitigate carbon emissions.
