An Optimization Framework for Low-Carbon Oriented Integrated Energy System Management in Commercial Building under Electric Vehicle Demand Response

Abstract

As the carbon emissions of commercial buildings are attracting considerable attention, the integrated energy system (IES) has become a promising low-carbon method in response. In this paper, an optimization framework for low-carbon oriented integrated energy system management under electric vehicles (EV) demand response is proposed. After analyzing the charging behavior, EV charging demand is simulated. Then, the low-carbon integrated energy system model is proposed with the optimization framework considering carbon reduction. Subsequently the objective function containing carbon emission is obtained for the whole operation optimization. The results of the studied case show that the optimization framework proposed can reduce the carbon emission greatly as well as moderate economic cost, which declined because of the revenue from charging demand response. In general, the optimization of low-carbon oriented IES in commercial buildings is feasible.
