Optimal Operation Strategy of PV-Charging-Hydrogenation Composite Energy Station Considering Demand Response
Abstract
:1. Introduction
- (1)
- A CES model, including photovoltaic, hydrogen production, hydrogen storage, fuel cells, hydrogenation, and charging, has been established, which can provide energy supply services for EV and HFCV at the same time;
- (2)
- Based on the analysis of the travel rules of EV and HFCV, the charging demand of EV and hydrogenation demand distribution of HFCV are reasonably predicted by the Monte Carlo method, which is helpful for CES to formulate an operation strategy;
- (3)
- The two kinds of demand responses are considered at the same time—one is the charging load demand response based on the price elasticity matrix, and the other is the interruptible load demand response based on incentive. A multi-objective operation model considering demand response is also proposed, which is conducive to reducing the comprehensive operation cost and load fluctuation of CES;
- (4)
- The multi-objective function is transformed into a linear weighted single objective function through the max–min method and analytic hierarchy process, and the improved moth fire-fighting algorithm is used to solve the problem, which has a stronger search ability and obtains the optimal operation strategy with fewer iterations.

7. Conclusions
- (1)
- The energy supply demand of EV and HFCV will show two peak periods in a day. The use of price guidance can transfer part of the charging power to the peak period of photovoltaic output and formulate a reasonable hydrogen production plan, which can promote photovoltaic consumption, achieve source–load resource complementarity, and reduce electricity purchases during peak electricity price periods;
- (2)
- Comparative analysis shows that considering both price-based DR and interruptible load resources can greatly reduce the comprehensive operating cost of CES and can effectively improve load fluctuations;
- (3)
- The proposed model is solved by the improved moth–flame algorithm, which is superior to the PSO and MFO algorithms in terms of both algorithm performance and results;
- (4)
- Sensitivity analysis research shows that compared with the change in solar radiation in the range of −10–10%, the change in energy supply demand in this range has a greater impact on the operation of CES.
