Robust Evaluation Method of Integrated Energy System Based on Variable Step Simulation and Improved Entropy Weight Method

Abstract

As an important manifestation of the energy Internet, the integrated energy system improves the energy utilization rate. However, it also brings more risks due to the high coupling and the large difference in the response speed between the various systems. From the perspective of system security, it becomes crucial to accurately identify the weak links in the system and evaluate the robustness of the system. Therefore, a robustness evaluation method combining variable step size simulation and improved entropy weight method is proposed in the complex network environment. First, the structure of the integrated energy system is introduced and the coupling links of the system are further explained. Then, the robustness indicators including network damage degree and connectivity factor are proposed, and a variable step according to the difference of the response time of different systems is adopted. Based on the simulation results, an improved entropy weight method is proposed, and a more objective evaluation method is constructed. Finally, the superiority of the evaluation method is verified by a case study.
