Energy hub model for energy management in energy internet

Abstract

In this study, a novel model of energy hub is proposed, which can promote the utilisation of clean energy and energy efficiency, and achieve the purpose of the local energy consumption. Secondly, based on the framework of interconnected energy hubs, call action is applied in energy internet. Then, a distributed energy management strategy is designed for energy hubs by consistency theory. Case studies show that the price adjustment mechanism is stable with more than 500 energy hubs and the price adjustment tends to a constant value after 15 times. Compared with traditional energy management, the management strategy proposed in this study is more beneficial for both surplus-hubs and short-hubs.
