Future Energy System in Low-Carbon Community-Energy Internet

Energy Internet is a new energy supply method based on urban compact and densely populated community in a low-carbon city. The principle is to connect small energy generation stations and combined heat and power system(CHP) based on distributed energy technology and renewable energy into a network in the urban district. In this way, the cooling, heating and electricity could all back each other up. This article explores three major problems of the construction of energy internet and their solutions: namely, the location and layout of the energy station, the best transport match between the energy demand and supply in the Energy Internet and the optimal path design of hot water pipe network combined with graph theory and genetic algorithms.
