Low-Carbon Operation Strategy of Park-Level Integrated Energy System with Firefly Algorithm

The integrated energy system at the park level, renowned for its diverse energy complementarity and environmentally friendly attributes, serves as a crucial platform for incorporating novel energy consumption methods. Nevertheless, distributed energy generation, characterized by randomness, fluctuations, and intermittency, is significantly influenced by the surrounding environment. Within the park, the output of multiple devices frequently diverges significantly from the actual demand, potentially resulting in energy waste phenomena, such as the curtailment of wind and solar power. To tackle the dual challenges of balancing energy supply and demand while reducing carbon emissions in the industrial park, this paper introduces a low-carbon integrated energy system that incorporates distributed renewable and clean energy sources. Mathematical models are formulated for the source-grid-load-storage components of this low-carbon integrated energy system. Furthermore, various operational scenarios for the park-level integrated energy system are analyzed. The ultimate goal is to devise an economically viable, low-carbon, and efficient operational strategy for the integrated energy system, aiming to satisfy the diverse objectives of various stakeholders.
