heat/cool and gas supply, in each case, they can be
integrated all or individual types;
• a spatial-scale aspect reflecting the size of systems with
differentiation into super-, mini-, microsystems;
• a functional aspect determining the type of activity of
the
system
(its
purpose),
including:
energy
(technological);
communications and control; making
decisions.
Consider the digitalization of integrated energy systems
in accordance with the noted aspects. The use of digital
technologies ensures the collection, transmission,
processing and receiving of information in real time on
all constituent components of an integrated energy
system in relation to all aspects of integration. Integrated
energy systems consist of different types of energy
supply systems that are subsystems in the integrated
systems. Each of the subsystems contains its own set of
elements. These elements can be grouped according to
the following performed energy functions: generation,
transport, distribution and consumption. In turn, each
element has its own set of equipment in accordance with
the performed energy functions and belonging to the
type of energy supply system. Digitalization is ensured
by the introduction of digital
technologies for all
subsystems, their set of elements and equipment. This
corresponds to the digitalization of individual energy
systems. At the same time, there are special features of
digitalization in the joint consideration of systems of
various types within the framework of integrated energy
systems. These features are associated with technical and
technological solutions for integration, therefore, the
digitalization of integrated energy systems can be
considered in the following two directions:
• application of digital technologies for individual
subsystems for the purpose of their control;
• the use of digital technologies for technical and
technological solutions for integration in order to ensure
the coordination of subsystems and the implementation
of system-wide goals.
The use of digital technologies
also enables the
integration of systems of various sizes. This corresponds
to the spatial-scale aspect of integration (Fig. 1) and is
done by aggregating information for individual systems
of a smaller scale and presenting it to coordinate larger
systems, or vice versa, disaggregating it to coordinate the
work of large systems with smaller systems.

Energy supply system levels.
The implementation of integration in the functional
aspect depends on the completeness, quality and
relevance of the information. Such information can only
be obtained through the implementation of modern
digital technologies. At the same time, cybersecurity
problems are aggravated [17, 18].
The complex for digitalization
of the IES includes the
following components:
• Digital devices.
• Digital models.
• Methodological support of digital modeling.
• Communication technologies.
• Information and intelligent technologies.
Digital devices will provide adaptive control and
protection, full monitoring of all elements of the energy
supply system, distributed state estimation. Receiving,
processing and representing information is carried out on
the basis of digital technologies.
Digital modeling involves the development of digital
models and the solution of a set of control tasks based on
these models using the appropriate methodological
support. The IES model is a set of data structures that
describe the configuration of the system, the composition
of its equipment and its characteristics, the state of the
elements and their properties. Energy supply systems of
various types, which are part of the IES, have common
structural and topological properties and physical laws of
energy transport, which
allows us to formulate the
following general statements for the development of IES
models:
• Modeling the IES in the form of a graph, the vertices of
which correspond to nodes (sources, connection nodes,
consumers), and arcs correspond to branches (pipelines,
power lines, etc.).
• Representation of the IES computer model as a set of
graph describing the configuration of this system, and a
set of graphical and mathematical models describing the
properties of its elements.
• The hierarchical construction of the IES model is
provided by the formation of individual element and
subsystem schemes nested at several levels of the
hierarchy.
Methodological support for digital modeling of IES has a
commonality of its conceptual and mathematical
statements, and the methods, algorithms and specialized
software are used to solve tasks can be universal. At the
same time, various types of energy supply systems have
their own individual characteristics, which must be taken
into account in their digital modeling as part of an IES.
For example, unlike other large energy systems and large
pipeline systems, the operation of the heat supply
systems is characterized by two parameters that are
different in their physical essence: dynamic changes in
flow and temperature are very different from each other.
The flow rate in the network substantially changes
without inertia. The
process of propagation of a
temperature wave through a heating network, which is
determined by the flow velocity of the heat carrier, can
last for hours.
Modeling IESs as new objects of research with
corresponding new properties and features, causes, first
of all, the problems in:
• Aligning a common goal with multiple systems goals.

• Intersystem distribution and many decision-making
centers.
• Development and implementation of an optimal
strategy in general and for systems in particular.
• Resolution of intersystem conflicts.
• Coordination of interests of suppliers and consumers.
• Coordination of multiple decision-making centers.
• Conjugation of hierarchical levels in each system and
horizontal links between individual systems.
Communication technology. The digital communication
networks and data exchange
interfaces are provided to
ensure information exchange in the IES and its control.
One of the most important goals is to ensure a
continuous controlled balance between demand and
supply of energy resources. For this, the network
elements must constantly exchange information with
each other about the parameters, the amount of
consumed energy and planned energy consumption, and
various commercial information.
Information and intelligent technologies. The large size
of the IESs and the computational complexity of the
models, methods and algorithms do not allow the study
of these systems without the use of specialized software.
Information and intelligent technologies should ensure
the solution of all tasks
of expansion planning and
operation control of IESs within a unified information
space. Fig. 2 shows the architecture of the information
and communication platform for IESs research [19],
developed at the ESI SB RAS to create a unified
information space.
The creation of digital integrated energy systems
requires not only the introduction of digital technologies
into existing energy supply systems, but also the
transition from their rigid existing hierarchical structure
"generation - networks - consumers" to a more flexible
one, in which each node of the system can be an active
element. The new system design should combine a
certain independence of many decision-making centers
and their coordination to
ensure sustainable energy
supply to consumers.
