Optimal Management of Local Energy System Based on Distributed Energy Resource

Abstract:

In order to realize a low-carbon society, the introduction of low-carbon energy resources in the local (both urban and rural) energy systems, which plays a main role in the total CO₂ emissions, is being paid more and more attention. In this study, the paths toward regional de-carbonization are indicated by conceptualizing systematic “urban-rural cooperation” that creates regional circulation of energy resources (e.g., biomass). As an illustrative example, an investigation has been conducted of assumed distributed energy systems for a model city in China. By extending a pre-developed plan and evaluation model to include not only cost minimization but also emissions minimization, the proposed wide urban-rural energy systems are examined from both economic and environmental viewpoints.
