A Dynamic Multi-Stage Planning Method for Integrated Energy Systems considering Development Stages

Abstract

Integrated energy system (IES) planning is a long-term and rolling decision-making process. According to System Development Theory, the development-needs at different stages are different. Therefore, an IES dynamic multi-stage planning method considering different development stages is proposed. The first step of the method is putting forward a model based on the degree of system coupling, the reserve ratio, and the penetration rate of clean energy to divide dynamic development stages. Secondly, establishing a dynamic multi-stage planning model of the IES by combining the needs of different development stages through dynamic goals and constraints. Finally, the results given by the optimal configuration of critical IES equipment will be analysed in different scenarios. Following these steps, the result shows that the dynamic multi-stage planning method proposed is able to reduce the total planning cost of the system by 14% and reducing the clean energy penetration rate by 3%. Therefore, the proposed dynamic multi-stage planning scheme is effective and economical.
