Summary
In the global pursuit of carbon neutrality, industrial parks, as significant hubs of energy consumption and carbon emissions, are at the forefront of the green energy transition. The transformation of these parks into zero-carbon or carbon-neutral entities is critical for achieving national "dual carbon" targets. The Integrated Energy System (IES) concept offers a holistic framework to address this challenge by synergistically managing multiple energy carriers, including electricity, heat, cooling, and gas (such as hydrogen). This approach is pivotal for maximizing the utilization of local renewable energy resources and enhancing overall system efficiency, flexibility, and resilience.
The aim of this Special Issue is to explore and showcase the latest research advancements, technological innovations, and practical applications in the design, operation, and management of Integrated Energy Systems for zero-carbon industrial parks. We seek to highlight the crucial role of integrating high-penetration renewable energy sources (e.g., solar, wind) with advanced energy storage technologies (e.g., battery, hydrogen, thermal storage). Furthermore, this issue will cover topics related to smart energy management, demand-side flexibility, multi-energy carrier coupling, and the application of digital technologies like AI and digital twins for optimizing park-level energy systems.
We invite original research articles, comprehensive reviews, and case studies on themes including, but not limited to:
· Modeling, planning, and design of zero-carbon industrial park IES
· Coordinated control and optimization of multi-energy systems (electricity, heat, gas)
· High-penetration renewable energy integration and uncertainty management
· Advanced energy storage solutions (battery, hydrogen, thermal) and their role in industrial parks
· Demand response and flexibility potential of industrial loads
· The role of green hydrogen in industrial process decarbonization
· AI, big data, and digital twin applications for smart energy management in parks
· Economic analysis, policy-making, and market mechanisms for zero-carbon industrial parks
· Resilience and reliability of integrated energy systems
· Case studies and demonstrations of low-carbon/zero-carbon industrial parks
