As effective utilization of solar resources is a significant way to address the imbalance between energy supply and demand. Therefore, reasonably assessing the accommodation capability of solar energy is important. A two-stage robust evaluation model is proposed for the solar electricity-thermal energy comprehensive accommodation capability in a district integrated energy system. The accommodation capability index is constructed based on the second law of thermodynamics. A robust optimization model was adopted to deal with the uncertainty of solar irradiance. In the solution procedure, the non-convex non-linear power flow model is transformed into a second-order cone model to effectively fit the proposed two-stage robust evaluation model. Finally, a case study verifies the effectiveness of the proposed model and the solution method. The influence of irradiance fluctuation range, gas boiler, and energy storage is discussed in detail.

In the context of the energy crisis and environmental deterioration, the integrated energy system (IES) based on multi-energy complementarity and cascaded utilization of energy is considered as an effective way to solve these problems. Due to the different energy forms and the various characteristics in the IES, the coupling relationships among various energy forms are complicated which enlarges the difficulty of energy efficiency evaluation of the IES. In order to flexibly analyze the energy efficiency of the IES, an operation efficiency evaluation model for the IES is established. First, energy utilization efficiency (EUE) and exergy efficiency (EXE) are proposed based on the first/second law of thermodynamics. Second, the energy efficiency models for five processes and four subsystems of the IES are formed. Lastly, an actual commercial-industrial park with integrated energy is employed to validate the proposed method.

The economical/environmental scheduling problem (EESP) of the ship integrated energy system (SIES) has high computational complexity, which includes more than one optimization objective, various types of constraints, and frequently fluctuated load demand. Therefore, the intelligent scheduling strategies cannot be applied to the ship energy management system (SEMS) online, which has limited computing power and storage space. Aiming at realizing green computing on SEMS, in this paper a typical SIES-EESP optimization model is built, considering the form of decision vectors, the economical/environmental optimization objectives, and various types of real-world constraints of the SIES. Based on the complexity of SIES-EESPs, a two-stage offline-to-online multiobjective optimization strategy for SIES-EESP is proposed, which transfers part of the energy dispatch online computing task to the offline high-performance computer systems. The specific constraints handling methods are designed to reduce both continuous and discrete constraints violations of SIES-EESPs. Then, an establishment method of energy scheduling scheme-base is proposed. By using the big data offline, the economical/environmental scheduling solutions of a typical year can be obtained and stored with more computing resources and operation time on land. Thereafter, a short-term multiobjective offline-to-online optimization approach by SEMS is considered, with the application of multiobjective evolutionary algorithm (MOEA) and typical schemes corresponding to the actual SIES-EESPs. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy can obtain enough feasible Pareto solutions in a shorter time and get well-distributed Pareto sets with better convergence performance, which can well adapt to the features of real-world SIES-EESPs and save plenty of operation time and storage space for the SEMS.
