In this paper, an integrated energy system (IES) consisting of wind turbine unit, photovoltaic cell unit, electrolytic hydrogen unit, fuel cell unit, and hydrogen storage unit is proposed, and the construction of multi objectives for day-ahead power dispatching of the IES considering both operation and environment cost is discussed. By adopting piecewise linearization method, the optimization variables are divided into 24 periods, and the day-ahead power dispatching optimization problem is transformed into a 24-h piecewise optimization problem. On the basis, a complete non-linear mixed integer dynamic scheduling optimization model is established. An improved non-dominated sorting genetic algorithm (NSGA-II) is applied to solving the model. In optimization process, an interactive strategy is adopted to solve the coordination between discretization of variables and restriction of switching times of electrolyzer. Optimization results show that, compared with the single objective of minimizing operating costs, the multi-objective optimization scheme can reduce carbon emissions by 3.5% with 2.8% increase of operating cost. Compared with the single objective of minimizing environmental, the multi-objective optimization scheme can reduce operating cost carbon by 5.12% with 2.6% increase of environmental cost.
