Research on Optimal Scheduling Model and Peak Regulating Strategy of Micro Energy Network Based on TOU Policy

Abstract

Micro energy network, as an important form of energy Internet, is one of the development trend of the future energy system. The frame of micro energy network is proposed using the micro energy network in Qingdao as an example. The optimal scheduling model of micro energy network based on Time-of-use (TOU) policy, with the minimum energy cost as objective function, is built in the paper. The model is solved by nonlinear optimization method and the output of the equipment in the micro energy network is obtained to meet the different daily load demands. According to the optimized results, the peak regulating strategy is proposed. The result shows that the optimal scheduling model of micro energy network based on TOU policy can improve the economy and make micro energy network play a great role in ‘cut peak and fill valley’.
