Abstract
This scheme delves into how electrical and thermal network hubs efficiently manage their energy consumption, focusing on the multi-criteria objectives that balance economic and operational factors for network operators. These hubs integrate various sustainable energy sources such as solar power, bio-waste units, and wind turbines. They also feature storage units for compressed air, heat, and hydrogen. Thermal energy is generated via heat pumps using electrical energy, while the bio-waste unit and hydrogen storage utilize combined heat and power technology. The strategy proposed in this context aims to minimize overall energy procurement costs within these networks, adhering to their operational models. Additional challenges include managing the operational model of the energy sources and storages, conceptualized as an energy hub. In conclusion, the numerical results demonstrate the benefits of the proposed approach in enhancing both the technical and financial performance of thermal and electrical networks through effective hub energy management. The integration of renewable hubs with storage units and heat pumps has led to improvements in economic conditions by approximately 44.1%, and operational conditions by 28% to 90%, compared to traditional load flow methods.
