Abstract

Energy hubs are multi-carrier energy management systems that efficiently distribute various forms of energy, reducing losses and environmental pollution. This paper examines Ontario, Canada, as a major energy hub, using a typical fall day pattern for energy demand. The model includes all power generation sources in Ontario: photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT), nuclear, hydro, biofuel, and natural gas power plants. It also integrates the charging and discharging of electric vehicles (EVs) within the energy distribution framework.
