Optimal operation of regional integrated energy system based on demand-side load response

Abstract

The integrated energy system (IES) has the advantage of improving energy utilization and promoting energy flexibility. From the perspective of demand-side load response, this paper establishes demand-side power, thermal load response, and natural gas demand response models, and then constructs the objective function of the lowest operating cost of the regional IES for combined electric heating and gas supply, using Cplex to perform optimization. Finally, a typical northern park is taken as an example to analyze and verify the feasibility of the model and algorithm. The analysis of the case shows that considering the electric heating gas demand side response will be better than not considering or considering only the single and both responses, not only can reduce operating costs, achieve peak reduction and valley filling, but also reduce abandonment of wind and energy, and increase energy utilization rate.
