Research on Complementarity of Multi-Energy Power Systems: A Review

Abstract

In the background of the large-scale development and utilization of renewable energy, the joint operation of a variety of heterogeneous energy sources has become an inevitable development trend. However, the physical characteristics of different power sources and the inherent uncertainties of renewable energy power generation have brought difficulties to the planning, operation and control of power systems. For now, the utilization of multi-energy complementarity to promote energy transformation and improve the consumption of renewable energy has become a common understanding among researchers and the engineering community. This paper makes a review of the research on complementarity of new energy high proportion multi-energy systems from uncertainty modeling, complementary characteristics, planning and operation. We summarize the characteristics of the existing research and provide a reference for the further work.
