Abstract

The electricity-gas transformation problem and related intrinsic mechanisms are considered. First, existing schemes for the optimization of electricity-gas integrated energy systems are analyzed through consideration of the relevant literature, and an Electricity Hub (EH) for electricity-gas coupling is proposed. Then, the distribution mechanism in the circuit of the considered electricity-gas integrated system is analyzed. Afterward, a mathematical model for the natural gas pipeline is elaborated according to the power relationship, a node power flow calculation method, and security requirements. Next, the coupling relationship between them is implemented, and dedicated simulations are carried out. Through experimental data, it is found that after 79 data iterations, the optimization results of power generation and gas purchase cost in the new system converge to $54,936 in total, which is consistent with the data obtained by an existing centralized optimization scheme. However, the new proposed optimization scheme is found to be more flexible and convenient.
