Abstract
This paper introduces a novel Internet of Thing (IoT) enabled approach for optimizing the operation costs and enhancing the network reliability incorporating the uncertainty effects and energy management in multi-carrier Energy Hub (EH) and integrated energy systems (IES) with renewable resources, Combined Heat and Power (CHP) and Plug-In Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV). In the proposed model, the optimization process of different carriers of Multi Energy Hubs (MEH) energy considers a price-based demand response (DR) program with MEH electrical and thermal demands. During the peak period, energy carrier prices are calculated at high tariffs, and other power hubs can help to reduce hub energy costs. The proposed model can handle the random behavior of renewable sources in a correlated environment and find optimal solution for turbines' communication in EHs. The simulation results show the high performance of the proposed model by considering the dependency between wind turbines in MEH structure, power exchange and heat among the EHs.
