Day-ahead robust optimal dispatch of integrated energy station considering battery exchange service

Abstract

In order to improve the energy utilization efficiency and decrease the environmental pollution, multiple energy production, conversion and storage devices are integrated as a whole, called an integrated energy station (IES), which can meet various energy demands. In this paper, a day-ahead robust optimal scheduling strategy of IES for electricity, cold energy and heat energy supply is proposed, where the battery exchange service is incorporated by introducing the electric vehicle exchange station (EVES). Distinguished from the prevalent detailed modeling of each battery, an integrated model of EVES based on the state of charge (SOC) interval of batteries is established to reduce the number of variables, by which the charging priority of batteries is embedded into the optimal dispatch of IES. Considering the uncertainties of renewable energy resources and load demands, a two-stage robust optimization model of day-ahead dispatch of IES is formulated to minimize the total operation cost under the worst case, which can be solved efficiently by the column-and-constraint generation (C&CG) algorithm. The effectiveness of the proposed method is demonstrated in the case study. The results show that the total operation cost of IES decreases by 9.2%, indicating the role played by the flexibility of EVES. Moreover, the worst-case cost is reduced compared with the deterministic approach.
