Station Location

In the existing station network planning of distributed energy systems (DESs), most of them determined the location of energy station in the alternative station site, there was a lack of a mature energy station location optimization method, and the factor load was not considered in the division of energy supply scope. This paper aimed to propose an optimal site approach for distributed energy stations based on Voronoi diagram, in which all possible candidates of energy station locations were considered. The candidate sites could be any point in the whole area. Simultaneously, after analyzing the limitations of the traditional energy supply partition method, we proposed a new energy supply partition optimization method, relative-load-distance. It was found that the annual cost of the whole system was significantly reduced by 1%, although the cost of the network in the optimized supply area was increased, compared with the supply area obtained by the partition method based on the principle of minimum distance. In addition, by adjusting the coefficient K in the relative-load-distance, the effectiveness of the optimization method in DES planning was verified.

Integrated Energy Systems

President Bush’s National Energy Policy, Clear Skies and the Global Climate Change Initiatives form a comprehensive roadmap to a secure, clean, reliable, and affordable energy supply for the future. These far reaching policy proposals rely heavily on the development of distributed energy systems. The cornerstone of distributed energy systems is the emergence of Integrated Energy Systems (IES), which will permit consulting engineers to substantially improve energy efficiency. Thermally Activated Technologies, in general, and absorption chillers, in particular, are increasingly being viewed as an important element to effectively apply IES designs to the American building stock. This paper will examine testing, demonstration projects and commercial applications of combining absorption chiller equipment with microturbines, engines, combustion turbines and thermal solar systems. Technical challenges of coupling absorption chillers to prime mover exhaust streams will be explored. Application specific integration of coincident power generation and thermal energy supply to satisfy building loads will yield economic metrics that will determine which combinations of prime mover and absorption chiller will succeed in the market place today and which combinations require more research and development.

The integrated energy system can realize the complementary advantages of multiple energy sources and effectively solve the problem of low integrated energy efficiency of traditional energy systems. Carrying out research on the interactive scenarios and mechanisms of the energy supply and use modules of the integrated energy system is conducive to promoting the development of clean energy and promoting the indepth integration of energy Internet and distributed energy technology, smart grid technology, and energy storage technology. First, it summarizes the scenarios of the energy supply and use modules of the integrated energy system, and analyzes the interaction mechanism and paths of the energy supply and use modules of the integrated energy system on this basis.

Development Prospects

With the rapid economic development, the energy demand is rising and energy-related greenhouses gas emissions are growing rapidly in China. The usage percent of renewable energy in use is still low while the energy consumption is still increasing. Due to the expanding pressure from energy demand, environment concerns and society issues, distributed energy systems (DESs), especially combined heat and power (CHP), are encouraged and expected to play a greater role by the government. This paper mainly seeks to explore and answer some of questions. Firstly, the different technologies of various DES options are briefly reviewed. Then the question of why distributed energy systems should be developed in China is considered. Recent trends and current patterns of energy supply and use in China are also discussed. Some typical distributed energy systems used in China are introduced. This article also discusses what barriers need be overcome if China wishes to move towards a sustainable energy future. Finally, several suggestions are proposed to favor the wide application of DES in China. It is concluded that DES is a good option with respect to China’s sustainable development that has institutional, market and regulatory support.

The Impact

According to the Fifth Assessment Report of the International Panel on Climate Change, cities account for the 67% of the global energy demand and are the major contributors in emitting CO2 in the atmosphere. To face this problem, National and European policies pushes towards the insertion of distributed energy systems within urban areas as a valid alternative to the traditional centralized energy supply. In this direction, the installation of distributed energy systems gives raise to consumers with production capabilities, by now called ‘prosumers’. They use the autonomously produced energy to satisfy their own energy requirements and distribute the eventual exceed to neighbours. Yet, the energy exchanges occurring among prosumers permit the modelling of a network where nodes are identified as the prosumers and the energy interactions as links. This paper deals with this issue and proposes a cost-based methodology to model the energy distribution network of prosumers within the urban territories by deepening their impact on the traditional supply. Results are discussed by comparing a theoretical energy distribution network to a real case study.

The article considers the possibility of introducing digital and intelligent systems in the electric power industry, including the analysis of the consequences after the introduction of new technologies on the economic, social and technological side. Currently, the concept of distributed generation is being used more and more often in the global energy arena. This is certainly a trend in the energy sector. The current level of technological development in the energy sector is quite high, but in order to continue to increase competitiveness, we need a further transition to digital and intelligent energy systems that will increase the reliability, quality, environmental friendliness and automation of energy supply.
