With the development of distributed generation and demand-side response, traditional consumers are now converted into prosumers that can actively produce and consume electricity. Moreover, with the help of energy integration technique, prosumers are encouraged to form a multi-energy community (MEC), which can increase their social welfare through inside multi-energy sharing. This paper proposes a day-ahead cooperative trading mechanism in a MEC that depends on an energy hub (EH) to couple electricity, natural gas, and heat for all prosumers. The model of the traditional uncooperative local integrated energy system (ULIES) is also built as a comparison. A satisfaction-based profit distribution mechanism is set according to prosumers’ feelings about the extra cost they save or extra profit they gain in MEC compared with that in ULIES. Finally, case studies are set to analyze the utility of MEC in enlarging social welfare, after considering the effects of prosumers’ electricity usage patterns and buy-and-sell prices in retail market. The results of satisfaction-based profit distribution are also analyzed to verify that it can save the cost or increase the profit of each prosumer and EH.

The Cost

The cost of electricity and heat for the population, enterprises and organizations in Russia has increased several times in recent years. An urgent issue for consumers was the search for opportunities to save money when paying for energy. The heating fee is about a quarter of the total amount of the utility bill. The tariff, the cost of one unit of energy (Gcal/m2) spent on heating a room, increases annually. Accordingly, the amount of expenses for public services in each individual family or organization also increases. The principles of transformation of various forms of energy in an integrated energy system based on the concept of an energy hub are considered. It is proposed to use the capabilities of the MATLAB/Simulink software. The MATLAB/Simulink software library does not contain complex elements with a structure with multiple inputs and multiple outputs. Complex models of energy hub blocks form a special additional library. These models implement such functions as energy storage, energy conversion and summation of various types of energy. There are two types of energy transformation elements presented in the article. An illustrative example is presented that shows the economic effect of converting electricity into heat energy at preferential tariffs during the night period. The calculation of the quantitative potential of electricity for conversion is performed. Studies have shown that a flexible combination of various energy carriers using conversion and storage technologies preserves the potential for various system improvements: the total cost of energy can be reduced, the reliability of the power system is increased, network overload can be reduced, transmission losses are reduced.

Practical Security

Regional integrated energy system (RIES) can realize multi-energy conversion and complementation so as to improve energy efficiency, which also brings more security risks. The regional integrated energy system security region (RIESSR) is a security analysis method to describe the safe area for the operating points of RIES based on the N-1 guideline. As a controllable device, energy storage (ES) which is installed in the energy hub (EH) plays an important role in improving system security. Therefore, this paper establishes the model of practical security region of RIES integrating energy storage, and studies the impact of ES on total supply capability (TSC) and practical security boundary. Finally, a specific case is set to simulate and verify the model. By comparing the scenario with ES and the scenario without ES, it can be seen that the solution result of TSC increases and the security region extends across quadrant when the RIES is integrated with ES system. The capacity and location of the ES also impact on TSC and RIESSR.

Integrated Energy System

Coordinated multi-carrier energy systems with natural gas and electricity energies provide specific opportunities to improve energy efficiency and flexibility of the energy supply. The interdependency of electricity and natural gas networks faces multiple challenges from power and gas flow in corresponding feeders and pipes and connection points between two infrastructures’ points of view. However, the energy hub concepts as the fundamental concept of multi-carrier energy systems with multiple conversion, storage, and generation facilities can be considered as a connection point between electricity and gas grids. Hence, this paper proposes an optimal operation of coordinated gas and electricity distribution networks by considering interconnected energy hubs. The proposed energy hub is equipped with combined heat and power units, a boiler, battery energy storage, a heat pump, and a gas-fired unit to meet the heating and electrical load demands. The proposed model is formulated as a two-stage scenario-based stochastic model aiming to minimize total operational cost considering wind energy, electrical load, and real-time power price uncertainties. The proposed integrated energy system can participate in real-time and day-ahead power markets, as well as the gas market, to purchase its required energy. The AC-power flow and Weymouth equation are extended to describe power and gas flow in feeders and gas pipelines, respectively. Therefore, a realistic model for the integrated electricity and gas grids considering coupling constraints is satisfied. The proposed model is tested on the integrated energy system and consists of a 33-bus electrical network and a 6-node gas grid with multiple interconnected energy hubs, where the numerical results reveal the effectiveness of the proposed model.

Third, the robust programming model can be transformed into a convex mixed integer planning model, and then solved. Finally, the case study is carried out with a comprehensive area of Tianjin in China, the results are analyzed to verify the effectiveness of the proposed planning method.

The integrated energy system (IES) has the characteristic of energy system integrated/multi-energy coupling that involves heat, cooling, electricity, natural gas, and various other energy forms, which can maximize the synergistic effects and complementary benefits among various energy forms and their comprehensive utilization. In this paper, based on energy hub (EH), the day-ahead hierarchical steady state optimal operation for IES is discussed, in which the coupling natural gas system, electricity transmission system, and district heating system are all considered. Firstly, the model architecture of EH with diverse storage devices, renewable energy, and different energy conversion equipment is proposed and the steady state mathematical model of different energy networks in IES is developed, respectively. Secondly, the day-ahead operating cost of EH is minimized by an optimizing strategy to maximize the benefits of all kinds of energy demand users, where different types of energy power input into EH can be obtained. Then, the day-ahead optimal operation mode for IES considering minimization of operating fuel cost index is proposed via an energy management system, which provides various energy power data that are uploaded from EH. Finally, numerical results are presented to verify the effectiveness and usefulness of the day-ahead hierarchical optimal operation and steady state calculation analysis for IES, which could further illustrate that the proposed optimal operation can meet the requirements of practical engineering applications.
