Special Session 14
Planning, Operation, and Resilience Enhancement of Integrated Energy Systems
The rapid advancement of the Energy Internet is reshaping the landscape of integrated energy systems by enabling the deep interconnection and coordinated operation of electricity, heating, gas, and renewable energy networks. This new paradigm facilitates multi-energy coupling, resource sharing, and enhanced flexibility across various energy infrastructures, bringing significant opportunities for system optimization and sustainable development. However, the growing complexity of system interactions, the high penetration of renewables, and the dynamic nature of multi-energy demands also present new challenges for effective planning, intelligent operation, and resilience enhancement of integrated energy systems. This session aims to explore innovative strategies and technologies for the planning, operation, and resilience enhancement of integrated energy systems. It provides a platform for experts and practitioners to exchange recent advances and interdisciplinary insights into the economic planning, optimal operation, and resilience enhancement of integrated energy systems, with a particular focus on improving both economic benefits and system security in an increasingly interconnected energy landscape.Chairs:
