The integrated power and natural gas energy system (IPGES) is of great significance to promote the coordination and complementarity of multi-energy flow, and it is an important carrier to increase the proportion of wind power accommodation and achieve the goal of carbon emission reduction. In this paper, firstly, the reward and punishment ladder-type carbon trading model is constructed, and the impact of the carbon trading mechanisms on the carbon emission sources in the power system is comparatively analyzed. Secondly, in order to achieve a reasonable allocation of carbon resources in IPGES, a bi-level optimization model is established while taking into account the economics of dispatching and the requirements of carbon emission reduction. Among them, the outer layer is the optimal carbon price solution model considering carbon trading; in the inner layer, considering the power system constraints, natural gas system constraints, and coupling element operation constraints, a stochastic optimal dispatching model of IPGES based on scenario analysis is established. Scenario generation and reduction methods are used to deal with the uncertainty of wind power, and the inner model is processed as a mixed integer linear programming problem. In the MATLAB environment, program the dichotomy and call the Gurobi optimization solver to complete the interactive solution of the inner and outer models. Finally, case studies that use an integrated IEEE 39-bus power system and Belgian 20-node gas system demonstrate the effectiveness and scalability of the proposed model and optimization method.

<p>Many countries in the developing world have immense, but underexploited, renewable electricity potentials. A good example are the countries in the Economic Community of West African States (ECOWAS). Historically, renewable power generation in West Africa has focused on hydropower, which produces around 20% of the region’s overall electricity generation, with natural gas providing most of the remainder; future capacity expansion plans for the region are also focused to a large extent around gas and hydropower.</p><p> </p><p>However, dropping costs for modern renewable power sources, primarily solar photovoltaic and wind power, are expected to break the West African gas-hydro-paradigm in the near future. Given the currently low levels of generation and strongly increasing power demand in many countries, they can be seen as “greenfields” for integrating variable renewable energy (VRE) sources into stable power mixes and planning transmission capacity expansion to the benefit of VRE sources.</p><p> </p><p>Such planning requires a nuanced view of the role that different resources can play in a power mix. Solar and wind power are clean and have low environmental impact, but show pronounced diurnal and seasonal cycles, which requires increased power system flexibility across a wide range of time scales. Globally, such flexibility is currently mostly delivered by natural gas, whose use in the future must be limited to comply with the goals of the Paris Agreement. Reservoir hydropower is an alternative source of flexibility, but only if adequately managed across all involved time scales and without endangering environmental flow requirements.</p><p> </p><p>In this research, we combined energy science, meteorology, hydrology and climatology to conduct a scenario-based analysis of smart renewable expansion strategies for West Africa using the REVUB model, considering all time scales ranging from hourly to decadal (including climate change effects) and all spatial scales from point to subcontinental. We show that smart management of hydropower plants, smart designs of solar-wind mixes, and smart planning of regional interconnections can ensure reliable and stable power provision while reducing future natural gas demand and at the same time avoiding ecologically damaging hydropower overexploitation. These results have wide implications for energy policy planning far beyond West Africa, particularly in hydro-dependent developing countries.</p>

Gas-fired power units (GFUs) are the best technology in recent years due to lower natural gas prices, higher energy transformation performance, and lower CO2 emission, as compared to the conventional power units (CPUs). A permanent storage facility called power-to-gas (P2G) technology can provide adaptation of ever-increasing renewable energy sources (RESs) fluctuations in power system operations, as well as reduce dependency to buy natural gas from the gas network. High investment and utilization expenditures of state-of-the-art P2G technology do not lead to economically effective operation individually. Therefore, in the present paper, an integrated GFUs-P2G-wind power unit (WPU) system is proposed to determine its optimal bidding strategy in the day-ahead energy market. A robust optimization approach is also taken into account to accommodate the proposed bidding strategy within the electricity price uncertainty environment. This problem was studied by using a case study that included a P2G facility, GFU, and WPUs to investigate the effectiveness and capability of the proposed robust bidding strategy in the day-ahead energy market. Simulation results indicate that the obtained profit increase by introducing the integrated energy system, and the P2G facility has a significant effect on participating GFUs, which have gas-consumption limitations in order to achieve maximum profit. Moreover, as it can be said, the amount of purchased natural gas is decreased in the situations, which do not have any gas-consumption limitations. Furthermore, the proposed system’s operation in the robust environment provides more robustness against electricity price deviations, although it leads to lower profit. In addition, deploying P2G technology causes about 1% incrementation in the introduced system profit.

With the wide application of multi-energy storage technology in the regional integrated energy system, the configuration of multi-energy storage devices is expected to enhance the economic benefits of regional integrated energy systems. To start with, in this paper, the basic framework of the regional integrated energy system is constructed, and a mathematical model of micro-gas turbine, gas boiler, distributed wind power and multi-energy storage device is established. Then, the multi-energy storage and double-layer planning configuration model with multi-energy complementation is established. The upper level of the model aims to minimize the comprehensive investment cost of multi-energy storage, while the lower level of the model aims to minimize the comprehensive systematic operating cost, in which the net losses cost is also included and the required multi-energy storage capacity from the upper level is set as its constraint. During the programming and problem solving, the second-order conic relaxation technology is introduced to realize the convex relaxation for power flow constraint. At the same time, the piecewise linearization method is adopted to deal with the natural gas pipeline flow constraint, which can convert the original model into a mixed integer programming problem. In the end, the example analysis is carried out in the IEEE 33-bus system and the improved 6-node natural gas system. The results show that the multi-energy storage technology can improve the economics of the regionally integrated energy system to a certain extent, and have verified the validity of the model.

At present, due to the errors of wind power, solar power and various types of load forecasting, the optimal scheduling results of the integrated energy system (IES) will be inaccurate, which will affect the economic and reliable operation of the integrated energy system. In order to solve this problem, a day-ahead and intra-day optimal scheduling model of integrated energy system considering forecasting uncertainty is proposed in this paper, which takes the minimum operation cost of the system as the target, and different processing strategies are adopted for the model. In the day-ahead time scale, according to day-ahead load forecasting, an integrated demand response (IDR) strategy is formulated to adjust the load curve, and an optimal scheduling scheme is obtained. In the intra-day time scale, the predicted value of wind power, solar power and load power are represented by fuzzy parameters to participate in the optimal scheduling of the system, and the output of units is adjusted based on the day-ahead scheduling scheme according to the day-ahead forecasting results. The simulation of specific examples shows that the integrated demand response can effectively adjust the load demand and improve the economy and reliability of the system operation. At the same time, the operation cost of the system is related to the reliability of the accurate prediction of wind power, solar power and load power. Through this model, the optimal scheduling scheme can be determined under an acceptable prediction accuracy and confidence level.
