Abstract:

Objectives Traditional electric energy storage has limitations in scale, duration, and environmental impact.Moreover, the renewable energy absorption capacity in the microgrid is low, and low-carbon and economy cannot be taken into account in planning. In order to solve the above problems, based on the basic working principle of hydrogen energy storage, hydrogen energy storage was incorporated into the microgrid instead of traditional electric energy storage, and a low-carbon and economic synergy bi-level optimization configuration model of microgrid with hydrogen energy storage was established. Methods The upper-level planning model aimed at minimizing the comprehensive equivalent annual value of the microgrid, based on the joint operation of electricity and hydrogen. The carbon trading mechanism was introduced to plan the capacity of various power generation equipments in the microgrid, which can enhance the low-carbon of the system. The lower-level operation model aimed to minimize the sum of the absolute values of the difference between the new energy output and the load demand. The model also encouraged users to adopt diversified demand-side response behaviors with the goal of accurately tracking the new energy output curve, and feeded back the user’s energy consumption behavior to the upper-level model to optimize the load curve. On the basis of improving the absorption capacity of new energy, the system economy is further improved, deeply exploring the synergy between the low-carbon and economic characteristics of microgrids. Results The simulation results of microgrid in a certain industrial park show that the proposed method yields a planning scheme with excellent low-carbon and economy. Compared with the traditional planning method, the low-carbon and economy are improved by 53.6% and 37.1%, respectively. Conclusions The model presented in this paper not only enhances the capacity for new energy absorption but also further improves the system economic performance. It achieves a synergistic enhancement of the microgrid low-carbon and economy.
