Development of a simulation model of an integrated multi-energy system based on the energy hub concept

Abstract

Transformation of energy systems under the impact of internal and external factors remarkably strengthens the technological integration of those systems and supports development of integrated multienergy systems. The paper discusses the problems of modeling the integrated energy systems and proposes an approach to construction of a simulation model using the Matlab/Simulink software and the energy hub concept.

Method for Simulation Modeling of Integrated Multi-Energy Systems Based on the Concept of an Energy Hub

“…When creating simplified models of the energy hub components, we need to consider the technical structure of the system and, based on the data obtained, determine the necessary and sufficient parameters of the model elements depending on the objective function implemented by the simulation model. The generally accepted assumptions suggest that the energy hub consists of converters, storage devices, and energy transmission systems [39,40].…”

Simulation Modeling of Integrated Multi-Carrier Energy Systems

“…A general approach to constructing a simulation model of an integrated multicarrier energy system and to solution of different problems with its help can be represented as follows [21,22] (see Figure 7).…”
