The integrated energy system is the main physical carrier of the energy Internet. Planning is the leading link of its application, which directly affects the necessity and economy of the construction of the project. Firstly, the basic process of integrated energy planning is summarized. Then, three application challenges faced by urban integrated energy system planning are summarized from the perspective of engineering application: integrated energy system refinement modelling, multi-energy load integrated prediction, and expansion of planning boundaries. The corresponding strategies are given for the above challenges, and the development of integrated energy system planning and application is prospected, which provides reference for the staff engaged in urban integrated energy system planning and related investors.
