Abstract
This study presents a stochastic approach to design a wind integrated energy hub with multiple energy systems. Energy hub system offers significant advantages to energy services by providing the flexibility to cope with the challenging effects of intermittent renewable energy sources penetration. To this end, the wind integrated energy hub design problem would optimally determine appropriate number and size of system components that satisfy electricity and thermal demand and system constraints. To secure operation, the reliability indices such as the loss-of-load expectation and the expected energy not supplied are considered. The wind power generation and load forecasting uncertainties as well as the random outages of components are modeled as a scenario using proper scenario generation methods. The scenario reduction technique is also introduced to reduce the computational burden of the scenario-based design model. Finally, the proposed model is applied to a test case to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed approach.
