Abstract:
The optimal operation of an integrated electricity and natural gas
system is investigated. The couplings between these two systems are
modeled by energy hubs, which serve as interface between the loads and
the transmission infrastructures. Previously, we have applied a
distributed control scheme to a static three-hub benchmark system. In
this paper, we propose an extension of this distributed control scheme
for application to energy hubs with dynamics. The dynamics that we
consider here are due to storage devices present in the multi-carrier
system. We propose a distributed model predictive control approach for
improving the operation of the system by taking into account predicted
behavior and operational constraints. Simulations in which the
proposed scheme is applied to the three-hub benchmark system
illustrate the potential of the approach.
