    Abstract:

    This study proposes an optimized model of a micro-energy network (MEN) that includes electricity and natural gas with integrated solar, wind, and energy storage systems (ESSs). The proposed model is based on energy hubs (EHs) and it aims to minimize operation costs and greenhouse emissions. The research is motivated by the increasing use of renewable energies and ESSs for secure energy supply while reducing operation costs and environment effects. A general algebraic modeling system (GAMS) is used to solve the optimal operation problem in the MEN. The results demonstrate that an optimal MEN formed by multiple EHs can provide appropriate and flexible responses to fluctuations in electricity prices and adjustments between time periods and seasons. It also yields significant reductions in operation costs and emissions. The proposed model can contribute to future research by providing a more efficient network model (as compared with the traditional electricity supply system) to scale down the environmental and economic impacts of electricity storage and supply systems on MEN operation.
