Multi-Type Energy Demand Response Management Strategy Considering Energy Cascade Utilization

Abstract

Using cascade utilization between multiple energy sources to realize multi-energy complementarity can significantly improve the economic benefits and energy utilization of integrated energy service providers. Integrated energy service providers consider the cascade utilization of energy in the regional energy system. Through the demand response management of user power loads and different qualities of heat energy, the energy loss of the system can be reduced and the energy utilization efficiency of the system can be further improved. In this paper, we creatively establish a multi-objective optimization model with the goal of a minimum total cost and minimum exergy loss, considering cross elasticity, which is solved with the constraints of equipment operation and the energy balance in the region. The calculation example proves that the implementation of energy cascade utilization and demand response management for different users, by integrated energy service providers, can effectively reduce the system cost and improve exergy efficiency, so as to realize the optimal management of economic utilization and energy value.
