Bi-Objective Economic Dispatch of Micro Energy Internet Incorporating Energy Router

Abstract

Integration of different energy networks will increase additional flexibility to system operation. The key component in such a coupled infrastructure is the energy router, which plays an important role in energy transition and storage to smoothing the prediction error both in renewables and load. The router has the multi-carrier energy generation capability, and builds physical linkages among the power network, heat network, and other networks in the micro energy internet. The economic dispatch problem of the micro energy internet is formulated as a bi-objective optimization problem. Golden section search method is adopted to locate a compromising solution in the sense of Nash Bargaining. Case studies on a typical test system verify the effectiveness of the proposed bi-objective dispatch model and solution method.
