Optimal Sizing and Operation of Electric and Thermal Storage in a Net Zero Multi Energy System

Blog Article

In this this paper, the optimal sizing of electric and thermal storage is applied to the novel definition of a net zero multi energy system (NZEMS).A NZMES is based on producing electricity exclusively from renewable energy sources (RES) and converting it into other energy forms to satisfy multiple energy needs of a community.Due to the intermittent nature of RES, storage resources are needed to increase the self-sufficiency of the system.Possible storage sizing choices are Motorcycle examined considering, on an annual basis, the solution of a predictive control problem aimed at optimizing daily operation.For each Long Sleeve day of the year, a predictive control problem is formulated and solved, aimed at minimizing operating costs.

Electric, thermal, and (electric) transportation daily curves and expected RES production are assessed by means of a model that includes environmental parameters.Test results, based on the energy model of a small rural village, show expected technical-economic performance of different planning solutions, highlighting how the renewable energy mix influences the choice of both thermal and electric storage, and how self-sufficiency can affect the overall cost of energy.
