A comprehensive review of planning, modeling, optimization, and control of distributed energy systems

Abstract

Distributed energy system, a decentralized low-carbon energy system arranged at the customer side, is characterized by multi-energy complementarity, multi-energy flow synergy, multi-process coupling, and multi-temporal scales (n-M characteristics). This review provides a systematic and comprehensive summary and presents the current research on distributed energy systems in three dimensions: system planning and evaluation, modeling and optimization, and operation and control. Under the regional environmental, resource, and policy constraints, planning distributed energy systems should fully integrate technical, economic, environmental, and social factors and consider device characteristics, system architecture, and source-load uncertainties. Further, this review presents four modeling perspectives for optimizing and analyzing distributed energy systems, including energy hub, thermodynamics, heat current, and data-driven. The system’s optimal operation and scheduling strategies, disturbance analysis, and related control methods are also discussed from the power system and thermal system, respectively. In all, more research is required for distributed energy systems based on an integrated energy perspective in optimal system structure, hybrid modeling approaches, data-driven system state estimation, cross-system disturbance spread, and multi-subject interaction control.

A Comprehensive Overview of the Europen and Baltic Landscape for Hydrogen Applications and Innovations

“…• aviation: hydrogen has a potential to be used as a fuel for aviation, particularly for short-distance flights [20]- [22], [24], [25].…”

Accelerating Convergence for the Parameters of PV Cell Models

“…This energy transfer is accompanied by an increase in entropy, as the electrical energy is transformed into other forms of energy, which are less organized and more disordered [2]. At the same time, the transportation of electrical energy has seen major advances [3], with global power grids emerging as the dominant form of energy supply today.…”

Multi-Function Collaborative Flexible Source-Load Intelligent Interactive Operation Control Technology for Industrial Communities

“…At the same time, due to the existence of large R/X ratio, it has the same advantage as reactive power, so the energy storage system can make up for its indirect impact on the power output by adjusting charging, discharging and other ways, so as to improve the voltage quality of the system. Most of the existing power control models are hybrid integer nonlinear optimization problems based on optimal power flow, and their mathematical modeling is usually a non-convex, NP-• hard problem [4]. However, such algorithms not only have high requirements on the model.…”
