Investigation and Analysis on Development Strategy of Integrated Energy Service Digital Platform

With the development of energy and digital revolution, the concept of integrated energy service (IES) attracts many attentions due to its green, high efficient and low carbon characteristics. Applying digital platform to promote the usage of multi-source data and the construction of mechanism model will bring positive effects on integrated energy system planning, control and operation. However, the development of integrated energy service platform is still in its infancy, the strategy and the corresponding architecture design is needed. To deal with these issues, this paper firstly presents a comprehensive analysis about the present status of IES digital platforms, such as their types, features and key functionalities are deeply studied. Then the current problems include development route, main stream technology and business models are summarized and the follow future trends of IES platform is concluded. Finally, the key points in the development process and the architecture of IES platform is given.
