Abstract: Driven by policy incentives and economic pressures, energy-intensive industries are increasingly focusing on energy cost reductions amid the rapid adoption of renewable energy. However, the existing studies often isolate photovoltaic-energy storage system (PV-ESS) configurations from detailed load scheduling, limiting industrial park energy management. To address this, we propose a two-layer cooperative optimization approach (TLCOA). The upper layer employs a genetic algorithm (GA) to optimize the PV capacity and energy storage sizing through natural selection and crossover operations, while the lower layer utilizes mixed integer linear programming (MILP) to derive cost-minimized scheduling strategies under time-of-use tariffs. Multi-process parallel computing accelerates the fitness evaluations, resolving high-dimensional industrial data challenges. Multi-process parallel computing is introduced to accelerate fitness evaluations, effectively addressing the challenges posed by high-dimensional industrial data. Validated with real power market data, the TLCOA demonstrated rapid adaptation to load fluctuations while achieving a 23.68% improvement in computational efficiency, 1.73% reduction in investment costs, 7.55% decrease in power purchase costs, and 8.79% enhancement in renewable energy utilization compared to traditional methods. This integrated framework enables cost-effective PV-ESS deployment and adaptive energy management in industrial facilities, offering actionable insights for renewable integration and scalable energy optimization.
