Optimal Scheduling Of Interconnected Energy Hubs Considering Responsive Loads

In recent years, studying on the multi carrier energy system known as Energy Hub (EH) has been considered by many researchers. Usually the reaction of the electrical load of EH in response to the price has not been considered. In this paper, a new model is proposed to analyze the demand response impacts in the interconnected EHs system. In this regard, an optimization model for operation of two EHs including three input energies, two type storages and the electrical as well as the thermal loads is proposed. One of the hubs is residential and the other is commercial EH. The proposed model is applied to this system and the results in four scenarios are discussed. The simulation results showed the effectiveness of the proposed model to quantitatively evaluate the advantage of demand response for decreasing the unsupplied energy in EHs loads.
