The fundamental theory of energy networks in different energy forms is established following an in-depth analysis of the nature of energy for comprehensive energy utilization. The definition of an energy network is given
in which energy transmits along the wires(pipes)
and a number of wires(pipes)connect with each other to form a network. Energy subnets in different energy forms are interconnected by energy converters
such as pumps and heat exchangers. The generalized transfer equations of energy in wires(pipes)are proposed based on the generalized balance equation of energy in space
and the energy and exergy variation laws in the transfer processes are investigated. The actual transfer processes of several kinds of common energy are then analyzed with the method proposed and the results are proved by conventional analysis. To establish the equations of energy networks
the Kirchhoff's law in electric networks is extended to energy networks
which is called the generalized Kirchhoff's law. Then the generalized equivalent energy transfer equations with lumped parameters are derived in terms of the characteristic equations of energy transfer in wires(pipes). The equations are finally unified into a complete energy network equation set and its solvability is further discussed. A simplified example for energy network composed of an electric network and a fluid network validates the models and methods proposed
and the numerical results show that the energy network has different losses of energy and exergy when it provides different ratio of heat for a constant user heat demand by the electric network and the fluid network respectively
and then the optimal ratio value ought to be sought out for energy efficiency.
