“…The utilization of renewable energy is easily affected by external factors; the energy output and load demand cannot be matched, which tends to cause energy shortage at peak and waste at valley [20][21][22]. With the development of energy storage technology, energy can be transferred in a time series through the charge and discharge strategy of energy storage.…”

With the gradual liberalization of the energy market, the future integrated energy system will be composed of multiple agents. Therefore, this paper proposes an optimization dispatch method considering energy hub technology and multi-agent interest balance in an integrated energy system. Firstly, an integrated energy system, including equipment for cogeneration, renewable energy, and electric vehicles, is established. Secondly, energy hub technologies, such as demand response, electricity storage, and thermal storage, are comprehensively considered, and the integrated energy system is divided into three agents: Integrated energy service providers, renewable energy owners, and users, respectively. Then, with the goal of balancing the interests of each agent, the model is solved by the non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm-III (NSGA-III) to obtain the Pareto frontier. Since the Pareto frontier is a series of values, the optimal solution of each agent in the Pareto frontier is found by the technical for order preference with a similar to ideal solution (TOPSIS). Ultimately, taking an integrated energy demonstration park in China as a case study, the function of energy hub technology is analyzed by simulation, and the proposed method is verified to be effective and practicable.Energies 2019, 12, 3112 2 of 17 energy system. The proposed model and algorithm analyze the action of each unit in economic dispatch and wind-power accommodation effectively, verifying its efficiency and applicability; in [7], the two-stage optimization algorithm was used to optimize the park-level integrated energy system. The upper layer is aimed at the minimum total annual cost, annual pollution emission, and annual energy consumption, and the lower layer is aimed at the lowest operation and maintenance cost, which can effectively increase the overall benefit of the system. The authors of [8] established an integrated energy model for multi-energy complementary and coordinated development, proposed a distribution network planning strategy based on integrated energy system optimization, and looked to the future of integrated energy systems across regions.The ETH Zurich Institute first proposed the concept of an energy hub (EH) in the "Future Energy Network Vision" project in 2007 [9]. An energy hub is defined as an input-output port model that describes the exchange and coupling relationships between energy, load, and networks in a multi-energy system. The coupling matrix plays an important role in the planning and operation of multi-energy systems as it can briefly represent the various coupling relationships, such as transformation, storage, and transmission between electric, heat, and cooling [10,11]. As demand response technology plays an important role in promoting operational efficiency of the power system, the optimization dispatch model of integrated energy considering demand response technology is a continuous improvement [12,13]. Based the decentralized load-side demand response structure, some scholars proposed integrated demand ...

“…Deploying ES alongside co-located demand centres and RETs allows the power provided by the RET facility to be used by the demand centre as required, reducing congestion on the electricity network and lowering energy bills. Several studies have identified the potential for various forms of ES co-location with demand centres and RET, including at refrigerated warehouses [95], at university campuses [96], and as already discussed at airports [74]. However, to date there has been little in the form of policy to promote this as a market for ES.…”

The refrigeration sector represents an important field of application for demand side management (DSM) strategies. For DSM are intended all those actions addressed to modify the final user's electricity consumption. Considering that refrigeration and air conditioning electricity consumption represent about 17% of the total electricity demand and taking into account the growing market of heat pumps, it is clear the central role of this sector for the implementation of management strategies on demand side. There are already several examples of feasible DSM technologies referred to refrigeration, including thermal energy storage systems, energy efficient devices or control systems by means of which the utility communicates with the final users. Purpose of this paper is to analyze the present state of the art in this field in order to categorize the applications (in terms of technology and range of temperature), list the existing implementation and provide a way to assess the potential flexibility provided to the power system. The results of this work are considered relevant to highlight the importance of refrigeration sector in such context and, thus, to boost the penetration of DSM strategies.
