The multi-energy systems, both in the land-based or mobile forms, aim to integrate diverse energy carriers, such as gas, electricity, heat, cooling, etc. They are becoming promising diagrams for future energy systems in which, multiple energies can be simultaneously coordinated by heterogeneous units such as energy storage and distributed generators. Recently, the multi-energy systems in different forms have received significant attention both in the academia and industry. This thesis studies the optimal planning and operation of a multi-energy system. First, the system dispatch flexibility is enhanced by the introduction of heterogeneous units. Further, the system's diverse uncertainties are handled for more reliable and robust planning and operation. Finally, optimal coordination of all the units is investigated to improving the energy utilization efficiency, reducing the emission and cost, maintaining the system reliability, etc. The proposed methods could be directly utilized for the real multi-energy system.
