Optimal CHP Planning in Integrated Energy Systems Considering Network Charges

Abstract

This paper proposes a novel optimal planning model for combined heat and power (CHP) in multiple energy systems of natural gas and electricity to benefit both networks by deferring investment for network owners and reducing use-of-system (UoS) charge for network users. The new planning model considers the technical constraints of both electricity and natural gas systems. A two-stage planning approach is proposed to determine the optimal site and size of CHPs. In the first stage, a long-run incremental cost (LRIC) matrix is designed to reflect CHP locational impact on both natural gas and electxaricity network investment, used as a criterion to choose the optimal location. In the second stage, CHP size is determined by solving an integrated optimal model with the objective to minimize total incremental network investment costs. The proposed method is resolved by the interior-point method and implemented on a practically integrated electricity and natural gas systems. Two case studies are conducted to test the performance for single and multiple CHPs cases. This work can enable costefficient CHP planning to benefit integrated natural gas and electricity networks and network users in terms of reduced network investment cost and consequently reduced UoS charges.

Digital twins based day-ahead integrated energy system scheduling under load and renewable energy uncertainties

“…Efforts have been devoted to decarbonising both energy supplies and energy consumption, e.g., promotion of renewable energy sources, and adoption of electric vehicles (EVs) to replace fossil-fuelled vehicles. Versatile energy converters, e.g., combined heat and power (CHP) generation, show great potentials in further improving energy efficiency by jointly meeting multiple energy demands [2]. This has stimulated a multi-vector energy system (MVES) modelling method that characterises the operations of multiple energy converters to better coordinate both supply and demand in multi-vector energy forms [3].…”
