At present, most pelagic islands rely on the mainland for resource replenishment. And due to the limited island area, it is not sufficient to simultaneously place enough basic load facilities and new energy generation and consumption facilities on a single island. Considering pelagic islands are distributed in groups, vigorously developing renewable energy around islands can be considered, and the islands can be divided into resource islands and load center island. Resource islands can use renewable energy to produce and transport electric power, fresh water and hydrogen which are needed for load center island. The whole islands group forms a cleaner and green integrated energy system. However, this kind of system will face the coexistence challenge of intra-island independent optimization and inter-island collaborative optimization, continuity of energy production and discreteness of transportation, production scheduling and route planning, which is less studied. To ensure reasonable operation of the energy system, according to multi-agent theory, the inter-island energy and resource production and transportation scheduling model based on generalized movable energy storage can be divided into two parts: load center island agent scheduling model and resource islands agent scheduling model. And scheduling objectives and constraints of each agent in two scenarios are determined. The simulation results show that the new model can comprehensively take into account the production efficiency of equipment, production effectiveness and transportation cost and realize the rational production scheduling and transportation of energy and resources under the premise of meeting the demand of load center island. •The new energy conversion and scheduling problem of pelagic clustering islands under a new development model is obtained.•Propose a cleaner production model to meet the materials need of load center island.•Propose an energy and resource scheduling model for pelagic clustering islands based on multi-agent theory.•Propose a multi-modal energy consumption model considering the power-efficiency characteristics of equipment.
