Low-Carbon Control of Integrated Energy by Combining Cuckoo Search Algorithm and Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm

With the increasing severity of global climate change, low-carbon development has become a key issue in the energy industry. As an effective way to optimize energy utilization and reduce carbon emissions, integrated energy system is receiving increasing attention. However, existing low-carbon control methods still face many challenges in improving system efficiency and reducing carbon emissions, and the ability of multi-energy cooperative scheduling and optimal control is insufficient. Therefore, a hybrid algorithm combining the particle swarm optimization and cuckoo search algorithms is designed to adjust the integrated energy low-carbon control capability. The proposed algorithm required fewer iterations than the genetic cuckoo algorithm, which only went through 43 iterations. The convergence speed was improved by 34.8% compared with a single cuckoo algorithm. Among the four scenarios, scenario 4 and scenario 3 had the highest utilization rates of 99.75%, while scenario 1 had the lowest utilization rate of 61.96%. This indicates that the integrated energy system controlled by the particle swarm optimization cuckoo algorithm, while considering carbon capture and storage as well as power-to-gas conversion, can effectively utilize solar energy resources for power generation and achieve energy-saving and emission reduction effects. In summary, this method can help the integrated energy system adapt to various optimization strategies, which promotes the development of low-carbon control technologies in the energy industry.
