Analysis of a multi-energy coupling model for rural energy under the rural digital economy

With the growth of the digital economy, the sustainable growth of rural energy has become crucial. However, traditional rural energy models have the drawback of not considering digital technology and renewable energy. Therefore, there is an urgent need for rational planning and development of rural energy. According to this, a multi-energy coupling model for rural energy systems was established by considering equipment capacity planning and operation scheduling optimization based on a multi-energy coupling structure. At the same time, considering the biomass resources in rural energy systems, an optimized configuration model for biomass coal-fired coupled power generation units was established. The results showed that the energy consumption cost in County A accounted for only 3.3%. County C focused mainly on tourism and emphasized economic efficiency, with investment costs 8.6% and 10.3% lower than other rural areas. The system utilized time of use electricity prices to optimize operation. The low storage stage was from 1:00 to 8:00, while the high incidence stage was from 12:00 to 14:00 and from 7:00 to 21:00. In the actual scenario, the multi-energy coupling model can be combined with intelligent technology to realize the real-time monitoring, prediction and optimal control of the energy system. Through the introduction of advanced digital technology, the model can be more flexible to deal with the diversified energy sources and complex operational scheduling situations involved in rural energy systems. This can improve the response speed and adaptability of the system, making the energy system more resilient and efficient.
