Abstract

Hydrogen-based strategic action plans have gained importance as countries adopt the goals of reducing carbon emissions and increasing renewable energy. Power-to-Gas (P2G) is one of the key concepts of hydrogen-based energy management systems. This study analyzes the cost-minimization-oriented operation of a multi-energy system considering renewables and hydrogen production. In addition, the impact of multi-energy systems on transportation electrification is analyzed by considering the hydrogen filling facility for fuel cell electric vehicles (FCEVs) in the proposed model. This paper uses mixed integer linear programming (MIP) to model the problem. As a result of the developed algorithm, the total power demand of the electrolyzer only consists of renewable power, and hydrogen is supplied into a multi-energy system regarding the energy and gas transaction prices. Furthermore, surplus renewable energy can also be supplied to the local distribution system for intraday market operations.
