Abstract

This paper describes a novel approach to model networks with multiple energy carrier. The proposed nodal matrix establishes a link between an optimization of enclosed areas and their interconnections via networks. In the envisioned network flow model typical energy carrier include electricity, natural gas, and district heating, which can be lossy as well as lossless. Furthermore, energy conversion inside the lines can be operated, altogether in a single model. The presented model is based on the energy hub concept, where hubs are representing the individual areas with local energy conversion and storage devices.
