Short term scheduling of multi carrier systems through interruptible load and Energy Storage toward future sustainable energy needs

Greenhouse gas emissions especially CO₂ and growing energy needs are developing advance technologies which are subject to emission lower, efficiency enhancement, economic improvement and reliability enhancement in response to future energy needs; electricity, hydrogen, heat, cooling and biofuels. In this paper, Energy Hub (EH) model as a strong solution is extended by smart grid key drivers; Renewable Energy, Combined Heat and Power (CHP), Energy Storage (ES), Demand Response (DR) to balance demand and supply in distribution system. EH is defined a super node in electric power system to utilize renewable and network energy carriers, then based on minimum cost decides how to act; convert, store or directly connect to serve hub required demands. Simulation results are applied on an urban place (Daran) in North-West of Iran where has strong potential to utilize agricultural and renewable resources. Results by Linear Mixed Integer Programming (MIP) model of GAMS software show when and how much of which carrier should be purchased, stored or interrupted to satisfy demands.
