Abstract

Large-scale integrated energy systems are networks of various energy flows, such as electricity, thermal energy, cooling energy, and natural gas flows. In a LSIES, energy can be transmitted not only in the form of electricity, but also in many other forms such as thermal energy and natural gas. A wide variety of models have drawn much attention, such as district heating and cooling systems, combined cooling heating and power systems, and energy hubs. Each of these models is described in detail in the following sections. This chapter presents the models of subsystems of IES, such as district heating and cooling systems, combined cooling heating and power systems. Moreover, we propose an individual-based model (IBM) for modeling LSIES. An individual is a basic unit consisting of a quintuple of input, knowledge, state, function, and output sets. It can make decisions independently according to accurate evolutionary mechanisms described by the function set. Additionally, the individuals interact with others through input and output sets in a unified form. In this way, a complex system can be decoupled into several independent individuals whose internal characteristics are fully specified and hidden from the external environment.
