The MES approach combines multiple energy systems—including electricity, heating, and natural gas—to effectively manage, schedule, and optimize the whole system throughout generation, transmission, and consumption stages. By implementing cooperative optimization across various MES carriers, operational and planning costs can be significantly lowered. This not only meets the diverse energy demands within the system but also enhances energy efficiency and supports the sustainable evolution of energy resources. Compared to conventional independent energy systems, MESs deliver enhanced performance characterized by reduced carbon emissions and increased operational efficiency, earning substantial acclaim from numerous countries.
