Multi-Dimensional Evaluation of the Operational Benefits of Integrated Energy Systems in Zero-Carbon Parks Using Game Theory and Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation
Journal Title: Journal of Green Economy and Low-Carbon Development - Year 2024, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
In response to the global momentum toward carbon neutrality, the concept of “zero carbon" parks has gained significant attention in the energy and construction sectors. While existing research primarily focuses on optimizing standalone energy systems, a comprehensive methodological framework for evaluating the planning and management of integrated energy systems (IES) within zero-carbon parks remains underexplored. This study addresses this gap by examining the challenges inherent in the zero-carbon transformation of parks and proposing a multi-dimensional assessment index system tailored to IES. The evaluation framework encompasses five critical dimensions: environment, technology, economy, energy, and sustainability. To accurately determine the relative importance of these dimensions, the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and the Criteria Importance Through Intercriteria Correlation (CRITIC) method are employed for initial weight assignment, which is subsequently refined through game theory optimization. The fuzzy comprehensive evaluation method is then utilized to rigorously assess the benefits of IES across the planning, construction, and operational phases of zero-carbon parks. The findings highlight that the planning and operational stages are of greater significance than the construction phase. Specifically, the planning stage prioritizes environmental impact and technical advantages, while the operational phase emphasizes the equilibrium between economic benefits and ecological responsibilities. This research provides a scientific basis for the strategic planning and management of IES in zero-carbon parks, offering valuable insights for project managers and decision-makers in prioritizing resources across different project stages to achieve sustainable development. By addressing the current research gap, the study not only advances the understanding of IES in zero-carbon parks but also contributes practical guidance for achieving global carbon reduction goals.
