Optimal regulation of microgrid considering electro-hydrogen coupling

Aiming at the problem of large access to renewable energy and insufficient regulation capacity of microgrid systems, this paper introduces electro-hydrogen coupling to improve the flexible regulation capacity of microgrid systems. A mathematical model for power regulation of microgrid including renewable energy equipment and electro-hydrogen coupling equipment is analyzed and established. Based on this, a flexibility margin model for the system is established. Taking the total profit and flexibility margin over the entire life cycle as optimization objectives, a daily optimal scheduling model for microgrid is established. In order to reflect the optimization and adjustment ability of electro-hydrogen coupling, this paper develops a variety of scenarios for comparison, and uses an improved particle optimization algorithm to solve the scheduling plans for different scenarios. The analysis of a numerical example shows that the regulation and optimization ability of the electro-hydrogen coupling is much higher than that of traditional energy storage.
