Abstract In this study, a model of combined cooling, heating and power system with municipal solid waste (MSW) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) as energy sources was proposed and developed based on the energy demand of a large community, and MSW was classified and utilized. The system operated by determining power by heating load, and measures were taken to reduce operating costs by purchasing and selling LNG, natural gas (NG), cooling, heating, and power. Based on this system model, three operation strategies were proposed based on whether MSW was classified and the length of kitchen waste fermentation time, and each strategy… More > Graphic Abstract

Abstract Aiming at the problems of large-scale wind and solar grid connection, how to ensure the economy of system operation and how to realize fair scheduling between new energy power stations, a two-stage optimal dispatching model of wind power-photovoltaic-solar thermal combined system considering economic optimality and fairness is proposed. Firstly, the first stage dispatching model takes the overall economy optimization of the system as the goal and the principle of maximizing the consumption of wind and solar output, obtains the optimal output value under the economic conditions of each new energy station, and then obtains the maximum consumption space of the… More > Graphic Abstract
