Abstract: Along with the development of economy and the improvement of urbanization level, the proportion of household energy consumption in total national energy consumption is continually increased and the former becomes a new point of growth in the energy consumption, so more and more attentions are paid to it. In allusion to both demand and supply of energy for urban families in China and referring to the related research results home and abroad, from the point of view of technology, the constitution and framework of integrated energy system for the residential area were analyzed and a two-stage energy system oriented to the user and community in the urban residential area was proposed. The information interaction technique supporting the operation of the proposed energy system was presented, and combining with the integrated energy transaction mode both optimized operation and scheduling of the proposed system were concluded and summarized. Finally, such respects as the development of energy management for residential area from the integrated energy system to the energy internet, the forecasting of users’ energy consumption, the supply and flow of energy, demand-side response, the construction of energy system as well as the energy transaction were prospected.
