Multi‐Energy Sharing Framework and Coordinated Operation Technologies in Integrated Energy Systems: A Review

ABSTRACT Distributed renewable power generation technologies have pushed a clean energy transition from fossil fuels to sustainable sources worldwide. Meanwhile, the advancement of energy conversion technologies has driven the concept of integrated energy systems that focus on the integration of multiple energy types in a specified region. With both energy production and consumption abilities of energy prosumers, peer‐to‐peer energy sharing has become increasingly important to enhance energy utilisation and efficiency. Motivated by the recent extension of energy sharing across multiple energy types, a systematic review of key framework, technologies and implications pertinent to IES energy sharing is undertaken. By putting emphasis on the newest research in multi‐energy sharing, a broader vision of the roles and impacts of prosumers in future multi‐energy systems is provided as a reference to energy sharing related research and development. Furthermore, the physical modelling frameworks of multi‐energy sharing are summarised, and the discussion needs to be further extended to research on multi‐energy sharing as well as the investigation of energy sharing implications for other energy services. The prospects and challenges of energy sharing in IES are also discussed to envisage potential future research directions.
