Abstract

Integrated energy systems (IES) have emerged as a crucial solution for addressing the dual challenges of energy sustainability and environmental protection in modern society. Conventional energy systems exhibit critical limitations including low efficiency, significant carbon emissions, geographical imbalance in resource distribution, and dependence on non-renewable sources. To overcome these constraints, modern IES implementations employ coordinated operation strategies combining combined cooling, heating and power (CCHP) generation and advanced storage systems. However, the current economic viability of physical energy storage solutions remains constrained. This study proposes a virtual energy storage system (VESS) framework that integrates demand-side management with renewable energy utilization. The findings provide a theoretical foundation and practical references for optimizing multi-energy complementarity in next-generation smart energy networks.
