Airport is a typical integrated energy system in a park with various energy requirements. In this paper, a multi-dimensional quantitative analysis of system performance indicators was conducted by using a comprehensive weighting method based on the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and anti-entropy weight method. A distributed energy system evaluation matrix model was used to evaluate and compare different integrated energy designs. The results showed that electric boilers would increase the primary energy ratio and primary energy consumption than the ones caused by gas boilers. Also, energy storage devices could significantly decrease pollutant emissions of integrated energy systems but would increase investment costs and reduce the economic indicators of system solutions. In a word, the configuration with ice storage, combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP), gas boiler, ground source heat pump (GSHP), air source heat pump (ASHP), and absorption chiller had the best evaluation indicators.

Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) is a crucial resource to reduce the environmental impact of fossil-fueled vehicles, especially with regards to maritime transport, where LNG is increasingly used for ship bunkering. The present paper gives insights on how the installation of LNG tanks inside harbors can be capitalized to increase the energy efficiency of port cities and reduce GHG emissions. To this purpose, a novel integrated energy system is introduced. The Boil Off Gas (BOG) from LNG tanks is exploited in a combined plant, where heat and power are produced by a regenerated gas turbine cycle; at the same time, cold exergy from LNG regasification contributes to an increase in the efficiency of a vapor compression refrigeration cycle. In the paper, the integrated energy system is simulated by means of dynamic modeling under daily variable working conditions. Results confirm that the model is stable and able to determine the time behavior of the integrated plant. Energy saving is evaluated, and daily trends of key thermophysical parameters are reported and discussed. The analysis of thermal recovering from the flue gases shows that it is possible to recover a large energy share from the turbine exhausts. Hence, the system can generate electricity for port cold ironing and, through a secondary brine loop, cold exergy for a refrigeration plant. Overall, the proposed solution allows primary energy savings up to 22% when compared with equivalent standard technologies with the same final user needs. The exploitation of an LNG regasification process through smart integration of energy systems and implementation of efficient energy grids can contribute to greener energy management in harbors.

In order to avoid accidents and improve the level of laboratory safety management in universities, a laboratory safety assessment method based on entropy weight method, analytic hierarchy process and unascertained measure theory is put forward. The laboratory safety assessment index system is established by selecting eight assessment indexes such as hazardous chemicals management, instrument and equipment management and personal protective equipment management; The comprehensive weight of the assessment index is determined by combining the combination weighting method of analytic hierarchy process (AHP) and entropy weight method (EW). According to the principle of maximum membership degree, the safety grade of university laboratory is determined, and compared with the actual results. This work indicated that this innovated method can reasonably evaluate the current situation of laboratory safety, and it can provide a reference for strengthening laboratory safety management.

Abstract The classical Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) requires an exact value to compare the relative importance of two attributes, but experts often can not obtain an accurate assessment of every attribute in the decision-making process, there are always some uncertainty and hesitation. Compared with classical AHP, our new defined interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy AHP has accurately descripted the vagueness and uncertainty. In decision matrix, the real numbers are substituted by fuzzy numbers. In addition, each expert will make different evaluations according to different experiences for each attribute in the subjective weighting method, which neglects objective factors and then generates some deviations in some cases. This paper provides two ways to make up for this disadvantage. On the one hand, by combining the interval-valued intuitionistic fuzzy AHP with entropy weight, an improved combination weighting method is proposed, which can overcome the limitations of unilateral weighted method only considering the objective or subjective factors. On the other hand, a new score function is presented by adjusting the parameters, which can overcome the invalidity of some existing score functions. In theory, some theorems and properties for the new score functions are given with strictly mathematical proof to validate its rationality and effectiveness. In application, a novel fuzzy portfolio is proposed based on the improved combination weighted method and new score function. A numerical example shows that these results of our new score function are consistent with those of most existing score functions, which verifies that our model is feasible and effective.

Considering the importance of reducing system operating costs and controlling pollutant emissions by optimizing the operation of the integrated energy system, the energy supply structure of the integrated energy system and the joint multiobjective optimization dispatching structure is analyzed in this paper based on a day-ahead economic optimization dispatching model of the integrated energy system. Afterwards, the multiobjective optimization model of the integrated energy system is studied and multiobjective hierarchical progressive parallel algorithm based on improved NSGA-II is proposed according to the characteristics of the model. The algorithm improves the nondominated layer sorting algorithm, changes the convergence judgment condition while introducing the target reaching method to accelerate convergence, and introduces parallel computing technology according to the characteristics of the algorithm. The case shows that the proposed algorithm not only has advantages on the diversity in searching solutions but also can achieve better results in many aspects such as the iteration time and algorithm convergence which are required in practical engineering projects.

In this contribution we introduced an integrated energy system consists of thermal power plants, combined heat-power (CHP) plants and wind power plants, and aimed to supply electricity and heat to users simultaneously. A large-scale battery, a TES device and heat transfer devices are included also. During the operation time of the battery, the TES device stores the generated heat and meanwhile supplies heat to users. Applying the power flow method, the electro-thermal analogy and the entransy dissipation-based thermal resistance method, we constructed the power flow model of the system. Besides, we optimized the system aimed to minimize wind curtailments. Optimization results presented for a typical day the system reduces wind curtailment percentage from 40.63 % to 13.70 % and supply 5% heat load. Besides, the operation strategy of the battery is to charge at night and discharge in the day.

The distributed energy system (DES) has increasingly attracted considerable attention from researchers due to its environmental friendliness and high efficiency. In the hot summer and cold winter areas, DES is an efficient alternative for district cooling and heating. A case study located in Changsha, China, which is a typical hot summer and cold winter area, is analyzed. Four control strategies are proposed in this study. The four cases under different control strategies are compared in terms of energy, economy, environment, solar fraction, and soil annual heat imbalance rate. Results show that the DES can be an energy saving and environmentally friendly alternative. The primary energy saving (PES) is more than 36.70% and can reach up to 48.04%, whereas DES can realize economical operation and reduce the emission of carbon dioxide, sulphur dioxide, and dust. In addition, DES consumes more electricity and less natural gas than the conventional energy system. These features are beneficial to the optimization of China’s energy consumption structure. Moreover, the operation of seasonal thermal storage for the ground soil is effective in maintaining the balance of soil annual heat. The control strategy combining geothermal and solar energies is recommended due to its good performance and high flexibility. This study may provide guidance in the development of DESs in hot summer and cold winter climate zones.

The integrated energy system (IES) is an efficient method for improving the utilization of renewable energy. This paper proposes an IES based on fuel, wind and solar energies, following an optimization study focused on determining optimal device capacities. The study included gas turbines, wind turbines, solar photovoltaic panels, ground source heat pumps, absorption chillers/heaters, batteries, and thermal storage. Objectives were incorporated into the optimization model for the overall performance of the IES; these included the primary energy saving rate, annual cost-saving rate, and carbon dioxide emission reduction. Then, the nondominated sorting genetic algorithm II was employed to solve the optimization problem for multiple objectives. Ultimately, the verification and sensitivity analyses of the optimization method were achieved by a case study of hospital buildings in Harbin. The optimization results indicated a primary energy saving rate, annual cost saving rate, and carbon dioxide emission reduction rate of 17.3%, 39.8%, and 53.8%, respectively. The total installed capacity for renewable energy generation accounted for 64.5% of performance optimization. Moreover, the price of natural gas affected the economic indicators of the IES–but failed to impact energy consumption indicators.
