Title:

Integration of Hydrogen into Hybrid Energy Systems: Reliability Assessment, Optimal Operation and Planning

Abstract:

The growing focus on hydrogen as a promising energy carrier has been pivotal in the pursuit of net-zero emissions within integrated energy systems. As part of this endeavor, extensive research has been conducted to delve into the reliability aspects of power-gas integrated energy systems. Additionally, our study looks at optimizing operations by incorporating hydrogen into these systems, addressing critical constraints and uncertainties pertaining to energy flow. Finally, the development of a sophisticated coordinated planning model tailored specifically for power-gas-hydrogen integrated energy systems is discussed. These comprehensive models aim to enhance the efficiency of energy integration and contribute to sustainability and the overarching goal of cost-effectiveness in the evolution of energy infrastructure.
