Multi-objective operation optimization of regional integrated energy system based on NSGA-II algorithm

Abstract

With the deepening of China’s energy market reform and the promotion of integrated energy services, the regional integrated energy system becomes an important development direction of energy supply system. In order to maximize the economic efficiency and reduce the air pollutant emission of the regional integrated energy system, the distributed power generation module and the cooling-heat-power (CCHP) triple-supply module are formed into a model, and the power balance, equipment capacity and environmental factors of the system are constrained with the objective function of minimizing the daily operation cost of the system as well as minimizing the air pollutant emission. Based on the mathematical system framework model and the optimal operation control strategy, the NSGA-II algorithm is used to solve the multi-objective programming model to obtain the Pareto solution set, and the hourly output of the optimal operation of the system equipment with both economic and environmental benefits is obtained. The results show that the daily operating costs and pollutant emissions of the district energy system are significantly reduced compared with those without optimization, which effectively solves the problems of low operating efficiency and serious environmental pollution of the district energy system and achieves the optimal operation with both economic and environmental benefits.
