Abstract
The optimization of combined electricity and natural gas systems is
addressed in this paper. The two networks are connected via energy
hubs. Using the energy hub concept, the interactions between the
different infrastructures can be analyzed. A system consisting of
several interconnected hubs forms a distributed power generation
structure where each hub is controlled by its respective control
agent. Recently, a distributed control method has been applied to such
a system. The overall optimization problem including the entire system
is decomposed into subproblems according to the control agents. In
this paper, a parallel and serial version of that method is discussed.
Simulation results are obtained through experiments on a three-hub
benchmark system.
