Research on the optimal allocation method of source and storage capacity of integrated energy system considering integrated demand response

Abstract

The optimal allocation of energy storage capacity is an important issue for integrated energy systems (IES). To reduce the impact of volatility and intermittency of renewable energy sources, the impact of volatility needs to be smoothed out by rational allocation of energy storage. To address the above issues, this paper proposes a method for the optimal allocation of source storage capacity considering integrated demand response(IDR). Firstly, the basic mechanism of IES based on energy hub(EH) is constructed, and the model and coupling relationship of equipment components in the system are introduced. The IDR model is built to optimize the load curve according to the real-time market tariff scheme, and then the confidence interval method is used to analyze the scenery uncertainty in IES and determine the scenery output curve under different confidence levels. On this basis, a bi-level optimization model is built that takes into account both source and storage capacity allocation and operational optimization. The upper-level planning model takes into account the uncertainty of wind power and photovoltaic output, and solves the allocation scheme of energy storage intending to minimize the total planning cost; the lower-level operation optimization model takes into account the output constraints of each unit and optimizes the output of the equipment to minimize the operation cost. Finally, it is verified that considering IDR can reasonably optimize the allocation of the system’s source storage capacity and reduce the system’s investment and operating costs.
