Abstract
To promote the continuous operating of solar energy systems and increase the proportion of renewable energy consumption, solar devices are often integrated with conventional energy systems to reduce greenhouse gas emissions. In this study, a solar-natural gas coupling system is constructed, utilizing solar photovoltaics, thermal collectors, and high-efficiency energy conversion devices. After modelling the energy system, the operating modes are illustrated considering working sequences of water-cooled devices. A modified genetic algorithm, which incorporates reverse learning, controlled elite, and dynamic crowding distance theory, is constructed to optimize the configurations of the proposed energy system, with the aim of minimizing carbon and economic prices of the products. The performance of the energy system is compared with different algorithms and cases, and the results demonstrate that the proposed algorithm addresses the limitations of conventional methods, albeit with increased optimization times. Moreover, the proposed operating mode (Case 1) exhibits a stable performance, leading to a higher environmental and economic performance compared to conventional modes, with carbon and economic prices of 0.242 kg/kWh and 0.067 $/kWh, respectively. This study provides new insights into carbon footprints and economic performance evaluation of high-efficiency energy systems, offering valuable directions for future research in this field.
