Optimal Expansion Planning of Energy Hub With Multiple Energy Infrastructures

This paper presents an optimal expansion planning model for an energy hub with multiple energy systems. Energy hub represents a coupling among various energy infrastructures for supplying electricity, natural gas, and heating loads. Combined heat and power (CHP) and natural gas furnaces are considered within the energy hub to convert energy into other forms. The multiple energy system planning problem would optimally determine appropriate investment candidates for generating units, transmission lines, natural gas furnaces, and CHPs that satisfy electricity and heating load forecasts and hub system constraints. The system performances associated with reliability, energy efficiency, and emission matrices is evaluated for the identified planning schedules. Numerical simulations demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed multiple energy system expansion planning approach based on energy hub.
