Can solar thermal poly-generation systems increase flexibility in integrated energy systems?

In Paper , a novel solar thermal poly-generation system for production of cooling, clean water and domestic hot water is modelled and analysed for the weather conditions of United Arab Emirates. Results show that heat pumps and electric immersion boilers have great potential to increase flexibility in the integrated energy systems.

Does hybridization increase the efficiency of Energy integrated systems?

In Paper , a hybridization is found in the synergy with oxycombustion of biomass which increases the chances of deployment of power to gas technology. This study assesses the efficiency of an energy integrated system under different sizes and potential applications.

Why is reliability evaluation of Integrated Energy Systems important?

Improperly managed integrated energy systems can pose increasing risk of cascading faults, which means faults can propagate across energy vectors and across scales. Therefore, reliability evaluation of the integrated energy system is of great importance.

How to optimize energy flow in a gas-electricity integrated energy system?

To improve the overall energy system operation and optimize the energy flow, an interval optimization based coordinated operating strategy is proposed for the gas-electricity integrated energy system considering demand response and wind power uncertainty .
