About this Research Topic
The full utilization and consumption of renewable energy generation (e.g., wind and photovoltaic) still face difficulties and challenges, especially the problem of full consumption. The development and layout of multi-energy complementarity, coupling and interaction, and collaborative integrated energy systems can effectively solve the above problems. Therefore, there is an urgent need to study the mechanism, planning and design, optimized operation, development mode, carbon emission reduction, energy policies, and trading mechanisms of integrated energy systems coupled with renewable energy generation and hydrogen energy, to promote its further development and help achieve a clean and sustainable future. This field will integrate the knowledge and methodology from energy science, power electronics, management science and economics.
The intermittency and volatility of renewable energy power generation are the difficulties that affect its synergy with traditional energy systems. The introduction of disruptive energy system technologies, represented by hydrogen energy, P2G, and CCUS, faces challenges in the energy system. Solving coupling and collaboration is the key. There is an urgent need to address mathematical modeling, capacity allocation optimization modeling, operation optimization and energy management, benefit allocation mechanism design, power trading mechanism design, development path, and supporting policies of such energy systems. This topic aims to make progress and breakthroughs in the aforementioned fields, accepting high-quality research to improve theoretical and practical research development and help achieve a clean and sustainable future. This field will integrate the knowledge and methodology from energy science, power electronics, management science and economics.
