Abstract :
Energy hub (EH) concept is widely proposed for integrating different types of energy infrastructures. EH physically consists of some storage systems and converters receiving energy from multiple sources immediately from its upper grids and provides energy services for ultimate consumers. In this paper a state space model for EH system is proposed. Due to the dynamic behavior loads and the price uncertainties, a Model Predictive Control approach is suggested for optimal performance. The proposed method is studied on a EH that consists of transformer, boiler, CHP, electrical and heat storages considering demand side management. Finally, the simulation results depicts to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed method for optimal operation of the EH.
