Integrated Energy Market Mechanism and Integrated Energy Service Design

The emergence of an integrated energy market provides new opportunities for the liberalization and flexibility of integrated energy trading. However, the design of the integrated energy market and the integrated energy service mode need to be clarified and discussed. The concept, characteristics, and framework of the integrated energy market have been analyzed in several research literatures. At present, there are some new viewpoints on the design of integrated energy market mechanism. Some development plans of integrated energy market and development mode of integrated energy service are put forward. This paper proposes the concept and characteristics of the integrated energy market and then discusses the transaction framework of the integrated energy market in detail from five aspects: market types, market entities, transaction varieties, trading modes, and market framework. On this basis, the concept and main contents of integrated energy services are studied.
