Optimal Operation of Integrated Multi-energy Systems Under Uncertainty

Optimal Operation of Integrated Multi-Energy Systems Under Uncertainty discusses core concepts, advanced modeling and key operation strategies for integrated multi-energy systems geared for use in optimal operation. The book particularly focuses on reviewing novel operating strategies supported by relevant code in MATLAB and GAMS. It covers foundational concepts, key challenges and opportunities in operational implementation, followed by discussions of conventional approaches to modeling electricity, heat and gas networks. This modeling is the base for more detailed operation strategies for optimal operation of integrated multi-energy systems under uncertainty covered in the latter part of the work.

• Reviews advanced modeling approaches relevant to the integration of electricity, heat and gas systems in operation studies
• Covers stochastic and robust optimal operation of integrated multi-energy systems
• Evaluates MPC based, real-time dispatch of integrated multi-energy systems
• Considers uncertainty modeling for stochastic and robust optimization
• Assesses optimal operation and real-time dispatch for multi-energy building complexes
