Multi-Energy Flow Modeling and Optimization of Electric-Gas-Thermal Integrated Energy System

In view of the fact that the conversion of various energy forms such as electricity, gas, and heat in the regional integrated energy system (RIES) seriously affects the economy of the system operation, a mathematical model and an optimization model of RIES energy flow are established to improve the economy of the system and the absorption of renewable energy. First, the mathematical models of all kinds of energy conversion equipment in the system are established to determine the constraints of three kinds of energy transmission networks, namely electricity, natural gas, and heat. Then, taking economic operation as the primary objective, and taking into account the objective function of low carbon emissions and increasing the uptake rate of renewable energy, the RIES multi-energy flow optimization model is constructed. Finally, based on the large-scale integrated energy system, the load side demand response is introduced and the simulation model is established. The simulation results show that the introduction
