An emerging type of the multi-energy system, that is, the low-temperature electrified district heating system is gaining increasing popularity as a potential solution for future low-carbon heat supply. This paper investigated its operational optimisation with thermal energy storage (TES) installed at building sides. The optimisation model was to obtain the minimum operation costs of all heat pumps in this system. The TES was meant to achieve energy arbitrage through load shift, but it was observed from the optimised results that the TES did not play an active role in the optimisation. Five possible causes were identified and further investigated to reveal their impacts on the optimisation process. Results showed that the thermal capacitance, thermal resistance, and indoor temperature range of the building were major influencing factors, while the electricity price tariff and heat loss parameters of TES were minor ones. The results indicate that there is no need to equip the TES for operational optimisation purposes when the building thermal capacitance is larger than a threshold value, the thermal resistance is smaller than a threshold value, or the indoor temperature range is broader than a threshold value. These threshold values are case-specific and can be determined with the simulation model and method developed in this paper.</p>","PeriodicalId":33288,"journal":{"name":"IET Energy Systems Integration","volume":"6 S1","pages":"845-861"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-11-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/esi2.12174","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253349","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This method incorporates the complex topological structure of the gas network and the dynamic process of gas flow into the IEGS observability analysis. Furthermore, the measurement configuration problem for IEGSs considering gas flow dynamics is formulated as a rank-constrained optimization problem.

Network reconfiguration is a potent strategy to minimise active power loss in DN as it involves altering network topology through sectionalising (normally closed) and tie-line switches (normally open). However, NR is usually a mixed integer NP-hard non-linear optimisation problem due to the discrete nature of the switches. Hence, including variable injection uncertainties (from generation or load) for an unbalanced active DN with all its attributes further poses a significant challenge in solving NR. The proposed formulation addresses these challenges in a robust optimisation (RO) framework to get a robust topology and power and voltage set points for dispatchable Distributed Generators (DGs). Also, Chance-Constrained robust formulations are proposed to regulate the conservatism of RO. Numerical analyses demonstrate the impact of conservative robust NR on DG set points compared to the non-robust NR method.

Conventional frequency regulation faces challenges in coping with the growing variability of CIGs and also lacks effective incentives for rapid-responding units. In this context, a bi-level AGC dispatch approach based on a stacked long short-term memory (LSTM)-deep neural network (DNN)-based decoder framework is proposed for a power system comprising diverse CIGs forming a virtual power plant and electric vehicle aggregators. The proposed decoder network is comprised of stacked LSTM and DNN, wherein the cascaded LSTM layers are introduced to accurately capture temporal information from time series input. The inclusion of a dropout mechanism further enhances the model’s generalisability in unforeseen environments. The proposed dispatch framework uses mileage-based compensation criteria to optimally allocate instructions among various participating units with differing regulation characteristics.

The authors examine the potential ramifications of coordinating the charging of Electric Ferries (EFs) on local distribution networks, with Gladstone Marina in Queensland, Australia, serving as a case study. Employing OpenDSS software for power flow analysis, the authors utilise actual load data and simulate a network with four Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) representing proposed charging stations. The authors discuss the impact on bus voltage, load current, and power flow by integrating a storage controller to optimise BESS charging and discharging dynamics. The Dynamic Link Library (DLL) of MATLAB Simulink-based BESS's dynamic model is linked with OpenDSS environment to replicate the actual electric ferry storage. Additionally, a user-written DLL in Python regulates BESS charging and discharging by the storage controller according to load demand and BESS State of Charge for ensuring efficient operation within the network. The power flow results without inclusion of BESSs to the network, referred to as the base case, are used for relative comparison with the results in the coordinated mode. The power flow analysis suggests that bus voltages rise by approximately 1%–1.5%, while load current consumption decreases by around 2%–2.5% compared to the base case with variable load. Selected lines and transformers maintain consistent power flows. Notably, a reduction in total power consumption and losses is observed, particularly under an 80% load demand increase. These findings indicate that the coordinated mode with a storage controller effectively manages BESS charging and discharging according to demand. Moreover, the storage controller ensures system parameters remain within permissible limits. The support of real and reactive power by BESSs during peak hours validates their role as peak shavers for the test network, suggesting that EFs can operate in either Grid to Ferry mode during charging and Ferry to Grid mode during discharging.</p>","PeriodicalId":33288,"journal":{"name":"IET Energy Systems Integration","volume":"6 4","pages":"638-663"},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2024-08-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1049/esi2.12165","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143253570","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
