System, Method And Apparatus For Capacity Determination For Micro Grid And Tangible Computer Readable Medium
The present disclosure presents a system, method, and apparatus for capacity determination in a micro grid, and a tangible computer readable medium. The micro grid comprises multi-type energy supply devices to provide both electricity and thermal energy, In embodiments of the present disclosure, a capacity determination process for minimizing both annual integrated cost for the micro grid and annual energy outage cost, is performed under constraints on electricity supply/demand balance and thermal energy supply/demand balance, and operation constraints on the multi-type energy supply devices, to determine respective numbers or energy supply capacity of the multi-type energy supply device. With embodiments of the present disclosure, it may achieve an optimal capacity termination which could provide a significant cost saving and at the same time guarantees the operation reliability of the micro grid.

- 1. A system for capacity determination for a micro grid, wherein the micro grid comprises multi-type energy supply devices to provide both electricity and thermal energy, the system comprising:
at least one processor; and at least one memory that is non-transitory, the at least one memory storing computer executable instructions, wherein the at least one memory and the computer executable instructions are executable by the at least one processor, to cause the system to:
perform, a device capacity determination process for minimizing both annual integrated resource allocations for the micro grid and annual energy outages, the device capacity determination process performed under constraints on electricity supply/demand balance and thermal energy supply/demand balance, and operation constraints on the multi-type energy supply devices;
determine respective numbers or capacities of the multi-type energy supply devices; and
generate an output to a user interface of results that include the determined respective number or capacities.
- 12. A method for capacity determination for a micro grid, wherein the micro grid comprises multi-type energy supply devices to provide both electricity and thermal energy, the method comprising:
performing, a device capacity determination process for minimizing both annual integrated resource allocation for the micro grid and annual energy outages, applying constraints on electricity supply/demand balance and thermal energy supply/demand balance; applying operation constraints on the multi-type energy supply devices; determining respective numbers or capacities of the multi-type energy supply devices; and displaying values of the respective numbers or capacities of the multi-type energy supply devices on a user interface.
- 20. A tangible computer readable medium comprising instructions executable by a processor, the tangible computer readable medium comprising:
instructions executable by the processor to perform a device capacity determination process for minimizing both annual integrated resource allocation for a micro grid and annual energy outages, the micro grid comprising multi-type energy supply devices to provide both electricity and thermal energy; instructions executable by the processor to perform the device capacity determination process under constraints on electricity supply/demand balance and thermal energy supply/demand balance; instructions executable by the processor to perform the device capacity determination process under operation constraints on the multi-type energy supply devices; instructions executable by the processor to determine respective numbers or capacities of the multi-type energy supply devices based on the device capacity determination process, constraints on electricity supply/demand balance and thermal energy supply/demand balance, and operation constraints on the multi-type energy supply devices; and instructions executable by the processor to output values for the determined respective numbers or capacities of the multi-type energy supply devices.
