Abstract

The multi-energy system, encompassing electricity networks, district heating networks (DHNs), and hydrogen-enriched compressed natural gas (HCNG) networks, provides an alternative for promoting intermittent renewable energy accommodation and enhancing operational flexibility. This paper investigates the aggregate flexibility of the multi-energy system based on dynamic network models and admissible power fluctuation regions of decomposed subsystems. The dynamic processes within HCNG networks/DHNs are analyzed, and the inner-box method is employed to approximately quantify the individual flexibility of the dynamic networks. Furthermore, the optimal dispatchable regions of decomposed subsystems, accounting for internal gas/heating load uncertainties, are evaluated based on distributionally robust optimization. Through distribution-level power aggregation, the flexibility of the multi-energy system is quantified utilizing geometric methods. Numerical results on two test systems verify the effectiveness of the proposed methodology.
