I. Background

With the sustained economic and social development of China, major changes are taking place in energy production and consumption patterns. The energy industry is shouldering new missions including improving energy efficiency, ensuring energy security, promoting new‑energy integration and advancing environmental protection. Building an integrated energy system helps break down technical, institutional and market barriers among multiple energy subsystems, promotes complementary and mutually beneficial utilization of various energies as well as coordinated optimization of multi‑systems. On the basis of guaranteeing energy security, it boosts energy efficiency improvement and new‑energy integration, and vigorously advances the revolution in energy production and consumption. Meanwhile, with the rapid development and wide application of energy internet technology, distributed power generation and supply technology, energy system monitoring, control and management technology, together with new energy transaction modes, integrated energy services have developed rapidly worldwide in recent years, triggering profound transformations in energy systems and becoming a new focus of strategic competition and cooperation among countries and enterprises.
