Abstract
The tight interdependency between electricity and natural gas systems brings new operation challenges to coordinate the two systems for achieving optimized multi-energy supply. The coordinated short-term schedule and real-time dispatch of an integrated electricity-natural gas system (IEGS) with energy coupling components (i.e., P2G (power to gas) assets and gas-fired generators) are proposed. Specifically, in the short-term schedule, electricity generators and gas sources are optimized in a unified model to achieve the minimal operation cost, where prevailing operation constraints related to hourly-scale steady-state power flow and minute-scale gas transmission dynamics are satisfied and extreme wind power scenarios are also considered. In the real-time dispatch, P2G assets and gas-fired generators are optimized to smooth the wind power forecast errors, aiming at mitigating impacts of wind power uncertainties on gas pressures variations. Through real-time dispatch, extreme wind power scenarios which cause violations of gas pressures will be identified and fed back to the short-term schedule problem, seeking for new operation strategies that would mitigate potential gas pressure violations induced by wind power uncertainties in real time. An IEGS, consisting of a 15-node and 14-pipeline natural gas network and a 24-bus and 35-branch power network, is established to validate the proposed approach. Simulation results demonstrate that linepack, P2G, and gas-fired generators can be utilized to effectively enhance operational economics and robustness of IEGS against uncertainties.
