ABSTRACT
At present, the number of electric vehicles is increasing day by day. The full integration of electric vehicles and multi-energy coupled integrated energy systems is the future development trend. This paper introduces a novel form of flexible energy storage in the integrated energy system ;(IES): electric vehicle (EV). And It proposes that mixed natural gas hydrogen be used as the primary energy source for IES, which replaces traditional natural gas. Combined with the above, the IES is scheduled to meet the system’s multi-load for heating, cooling, and electricity demands. Based on the integrated energy system’s structure and energy conversion principles, a robust two-stage optimization model for the IES is proposed to minimize the daily operation scheduling costs. The proposed model considers the uncertainty of distributed renewable generation and flexible energy storage. Uncertain adjustment parameters are introduced into the model, which can flexibly adjust the conservatism of the scheme. Using the column and constraint generation algorithm (C&CG) and the strong duality theory, the model presented in this paper is solved and the optimal scheduling scheme is obtained. The final simulation results validate the effectiveness of the model and algorithm. The addition of flexible energy storage and mixed natural gas hydrogen effectively improves the economy and flexibility of the system while reducing carbon emissions costs. Consideration of uncertainty improves system robustness and safety. In addition, sensitivity analyses of the influence of the proportion of hydrogen mixed with natural gas, the setting of uncertain adjustment parameters, electricity prices, weather, and load fluctuations on system operation. The results show that compared to existing research, electric vehicles as a flexible energy storage device and mixed natural gas hydrogen supply, increase the economic benefits of IES by 19.8% and 23%, respectively.
