Abstract

The integrated energy system creates the possibility for the interconnection and coordination of different energy sources, and is an effective means to improve the energy use of the system, increase energy efficiency, and reduce environmental pollution. At present, the planning of distributed energy stations for integrated energy systems mostly focuses on equipment selection and equipment capacity. However, there are relatively few studies on the location of energy stations and pipeline layout planning. Firstly, this paper proposes a distributed energy station location method based on the improved p-median model, which combines the energy supply path of the energy station with the actual transportation network, and introduces the weight coefficient of multi energy load to reflect the diversity of energy demand of load. Finally, the specific solution method is given, and the rationality and feasibility of the proposed method are verified by an example.
