An Integration Scheme of Renewable Energies, Hydrogen Plant, and Logistics Center in the Suburban Power Grid

This article introduces a new scheme for suburban renewable energies, hydrogen plant, and logistics (SRE-HP-LC) integration scheme and dispatching. The objective of the proposed SRE-HP-LC integration scheme aims at coordinating the operation of renewable energies, hydrogen production, and storage and logistic transportation. In order to take advantages of various energy conversion techniques to enhance the energy utilization rate and improves the financial revenue of the integration scheme, a completed dispatching and operating scheme for the proposed SRE-HP-LC integration scheme is introduced in the scheme stage. A multiple-demand response objective function is developed in the operation stage to coordinate the hydrogen energy usage in the SRE-HP-LC integration scheme. The proposed SRE-HP-LC integration scheme considers the uncertainties of renewable energy output and truck demand so that it improves the revenue of every component in the integration scheme. Case studies on a general integration system verify the effectiveness and economic value of the proposed SRE-HP-LC integration scheme.
