Cost-based siting and sizing of energy stations and pipeline networks in integrated energy system

摘要

Siting and sizing of energy stations (ESs) and pipeline networks (PNs) significantly influence views on the economy of regional integrated energy system (RIES). In this paper, we present a synergy planning method for siting and sizing ESs and PNs. This study describes the basic structure of ESs and PNs in RIES, clearly points out influencing factors that should be considered in the planning model. Then, with flow velocity, pipe diameter, equipment capacity, and the location of ESs and PNs as variables, the cost-based function model is built based on many constraints. The Genetic Algorithm (GA) based heuristic algorithm and the PNs planning algorithm based on ?Dijkstra Algorithm (DA) + Simulated Annealing (SA)? are used to solve the problem proposed in this paper. In the results and discussion, the proposed model and method are verified by a hypothetical region from OpenStreetMap. The economic changes are studied in a basic scenario and three comparison scenarios. The results show that synergy planning can save 293,320 $ and reduce the load peak-valley difference rate by 3.24%. Moreover, optimizing the flow velocity can reduce 0?32.04% lowest annual cost (LAC).
