Multimodal Microgrids: Flexibility for the Power System

Abstract

In this contribution a time constrained mixed-integer optimization framework to access power system flexibility is presented. Linear constraints consider static models of Combined Heat and Power plants (CHP), Power to Gas (PtG) plants and storage systems while AC load flow equations are included as nonlinear constraints. A case study shows the capability of the framework to coordinate provision of flexibility by multimodal microgrids.
