Abstract: To improve the comprehensive utilization efficiency of energy, a multi-objective optimization control strategy applied to the energy hub (EH) within the system is proposed to address the electrical and thermal load distribution of the integrated energy system (IES) and the low-carbon economic operation. First, a model of the electrical and thermal energy outputs is established based on the characteristics of the IES network and the multidimensional “load parameter” evolution law. Moreover, a distributed control strategy is proposed that utilizes the information interaction between neighboring EHs to accurately share the electrical and thermal loads, which reduces the communication burden of the system while avoiding overloads. Furthermore, to coordinate the optimal operation of the devices within the hub, based on the energy conversion characteristics of the EH, a multi-objective optimization model is proposed that considers low-carbon and economic aspects to realize efficient energy use. Simulation results show that the proposed strategy effectively improves the robustness of the system while realizing proportional load distribution and low-carbon economic operation. Under the same load, when focusing on system economics, the operating cost is 2.182/¥ lower than when focusing on low-carbon systems, but carbon emission is 1.6753/kg CO2 higher.
