Abstract

Highlights: Comparison of benefits of using flexibility from MES and retailer storage systems. Comparison of benefits of individual vs aggregated optimization of EHs flexibility. Evaluation of benefits from the optimization of MES to enhance network operation. Evaluating the impacts of different CO2 emission costs. Abstract: Around the world, there is a great concern with the emission of greenhouse gases, creating great interest in turning the energy systems more sustainable. Multi-energy systems are considered as a potential solution to help to this cause and in recent years, it has gained much attention from both research and industry. In this paper, an optimization model is proposed to use the flexibility of multi-energy systems to mitigate the uncertainty associated with wind generation. The differences between the flexibility provided by multi-energy systems and electrical storage systems in the network were studied. The results prove that the flexibility of the multi-energy systems can benefit the system in several aspects and provide insights on which is the best approach to take full advantage of renewable resources even when a high degree of uncertainty is present.
