Multi‐objective and multi‐stage low‐carbon planning of park integrated energy system considering random outages from superior power grid

Abstract

AbstractThis article proposes a multi‐objective and multi‐stage low‐carbon planning approach for park integrated energy systems (PIES) considering the impacts of random outages from the superior electrical grid. This approach incorporates optimal multi‐stage construction sequencing and stepped carbon emission trading to leverage the economic and low‐carbon benefits of long‐term planning. First, the islanding modes of PIES are described using four random variables: island type, duration, start time, and typical day of occurrence, from which islanding scenarios are generated based on scenario tree. Next, a multi‐objective planning model that considers both economics and reliability is constructed, with the objectives of minimizing the total lifecycle planning cost and the expected economic loss during islanding. The improved Normalized Normal Constraint (NNC) method is proposed to solve the multi‐objective planning problem. Then, the fuzzy membership function is used to determine the optimal compromise solution, resulting in a planning scheme that balances economic efficiency and supply reliability. Finally, simulations indicate that, at the cost of a slight increase in planning expenses, the proposed model significantly reduces the loss costs under islanding modes compared with single‐objective economic‐focused planning. Additionally, the improved NNC method can achieve a more uniform Pareto frontier compared with the conventional NNC method.
