Simulation Approach to Integrated Energy Systems Study Based on Energy Hub Concept

Integrated multi-energy systems give good possibilities to have high effectiveness of energy supply to consumers. The concept of energy hub is developed for modeling and simulation of integrated multi-carrier systems. Based on previous investigations, in this paper the authors develop the simulation model of energy hub. Basic principles of designing simulation energy hub model are discussed. Realization of simulation model using Matlab/Simulink is suggested. Simulation results for integrated electricity and heat demand systems are explained as the possibilities demonstration of simulation energy hub model.
