Optimal Scheduling for Multi-energy System Considering Coupling of Molten Medium Hydrogen Production and Pipeline Energy Storage

Existing hydrogen production technologies always have weakness of large carbon emission, and there are still many research gaps in coupling with multi-energy flow. To this end, this paper proposes an optimal scheduling model for multi-energy system (MES) considering coupling of molten medium hydrogen production (mmH2P) and pipeline energy storage (PES). The mmH2P is introduced into MES to achieve the in-situ green conversion of gas and the zero-carbon-emission hydrogen production while obtaining solid carbon. Further, a Refined PtG-mmH2P mode is proposed combining mmH2P, power-to-gas and hydrogen storage. Besides, the PES due to different transmission inertia of energy flows is considered, and its coupling coordination promotion with Refined PtG-mmH2P is further analyzed. Case study proves that the proposed scheduling model of MES can achieve the win-win of economy, low carbon and high renewable energy consumption rate.
