Abstract

Traditional power systems have become outdated, unable to provide the clean energy enforced by current regulations. In addition, the intermittent renewable energy and the distributed generation make it difficult for the current electricity grid to reliably respond to increased energy demands. For that, a heat and power integrated energy system (IES) can provide better results compared to individually operating the two sub-systems. In this paper, a detailed sequential modeling procedure is presented. In addition, an optimal power flow solution (OPF) algorithm, suitable for islanded IES is also presented. The proposed method is utilized in an IES consisted of 11 electrical buses and 11 heating nodes. The study demonstrates that during the islanded mode of operation a more economical and valid solution, compared to the standard OPF that only considers the electric part, can be achieved.
