Abstract: Many research works have demonstrated that taking the combined cooling, heating and power system (CCHP) as the core equipment, an integrated energy system (IES), which provides multiple energy flows by a combination of different energy production equipment can bring obvious benefit to energy efficiency, CO 2 emission reduction and operational economy in urban areas. Compared with isolated IES, an integrated energy micro-grid (IEMG) which is formed by connecting multiple regions’ IES together, through a distribution and thermal network, can further improve the reliability, flexibility, cleanliness and the economy of a regional energy supply. Based on the existing IES model, this paper describes the basic structure of IEMG and built an IEMG planning model. The planning was based on the mixed integer linear programming. Economically, construction planning configuration are calculated by using known electricity, heating and cooling loads information and the given multiple equipment selection schemes. Finally, the model is validated by a case study, which includes heating, cooling, transitional and extreme load scenarios, proved the feasibility of planning model. The results show that the application of IEMG can effectively improve the economy of a regional energy supply.
