Abstract

Advances in natural gas-fired technologies have deepened the coupling between electricity and gas networks, promoting the development of the integrated electricity-gas network (IEGN) and strengthening the interaction between the active-reactive power flow in the power distribution network (PDN) and the natural gas flow in the gas distribution network (GDN). This paper proposes a day-ahead active-reactive power scheduling model for the IEGN with multi-microgrids (MMGs) to minimize the total operating cost. Through the tight coupling relationship between the subsystems of the IEGN, the potentialities of the IEGN with MMGs toward multi-energy cooperative interaction is optimized. Important component models are elaborated in the PDN, GDN, and coupled MMGs. Besides, motivated by the non-negligible impact of the reactive power, optimal inverter dispatch (OID) is considered to optimize the active and reactive power capabilities of the inverters of distributed generators. Further, a second-order cone (SOC) relaxation technology is utilized to transform the proposed active-reactive power scheduling model into a convex optimization problem that the commercial solver can directly solve. A test system consisting of an IEEE-33 test system and a 7-node natural gas network is adopted to verify the effectiveness of the proposed scheduling method. The results show that the proposed scheduling method can effectively reduce the power losses of the PDN in the IEGN by 9.86%, increase the flexibility of the joint operation of the subsystems of the IEGN, reduce the total operation costs by $32.20, and effectively enhance the operation economy of the IEGN.

1 Introduction

Nowadays, the conflict between energy consumption and climate change has become increasingly obvious [1, 2]. Driven by this conflict, the energy transition is becoming more urgent [3]. Against this backdrop, the concept of integrated electricity-gas network (IEGN) [46] is proposed. Playing on the strength of tightly coupling the gas distribution network (GDN) and the power distribution network (PDN) [7], the IEGN is proven to overcome the shortage of independent design and operation among its subsystems, efficiently improve the integration of the multiple energy, and increase the energy efficiency and renewable energy share [8].
Consisting of the PDN and the GDN, traditional IEGN subsystems have been operated separately because each subsystem has been specialized in one product without sharing information [9, 10]. However, with the development of technology and gas availability, mainly represented by the combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) technology [11], more gas turbines (GT) and gas boilers (GB) have linked to the PDN and the GDN in the IEGN as distributed generators (DG), breaking the independent operation of the PDN and the GDN, and significantly improving the energy utilization efficiency of the entire IEGN. Besides, with microgrids emerging at the end-user, the pattern of the IEGN with multi-microgrids (MMGs) is also believed to be promising, which can promote the process of energy coupling and interconnection [1214], further accelerating renewable energy integration and boosting the flexibility of the IEGN. However, the tight coupling between the PDN and the GDN can also pose new challenges to the power dispatch and scheduling of the PDN which can be affected by gas technical restrictions in the GDN, and aggravate the difficulty of joint optimization among the IEGN with MMGs. Hence, it is necessary to study the optimal scheduling and coordinated operation of the IEGN with MMGs.
Several works toward the optimal scheduling and joint operation of the IEGN have been investigated. Considering the uncertainty caused by the high penetration of wind power in the IEGN, Yang et al. [15] presented a distributionally robust frequency constrained scheduling, in which both frequency constraint and demand response joint chance constraints are considered to reduce the impact of the uncertainty of wind power. Focusing on the potential congestion in power lines and gas pipelines, Yang et al. [16] developed an optimal electricity-gas flow (OEGF) framework to maximize social welfare while relieving congestion. Considering the application of flexible energy resource suppliers in the PDN, electric vehicles (EVs) optimal sizing, intelligent charging planning and power sharing are considered in Refs. [1719], which is proven effective in moderating the fluctuations of renewable energy and improving the system economy. From a computational point of view, a new Benders decomposition-based (IBD) algorithm is presented in Ref. [20] to overcome the difficulty caused by the nonconvexity of the commonly used the integrated electricity-gas system (IEGS) operation model. Chen et al. [21] introduced the feasibility margin and the infeasibility degree to identify the solvability of the optimal energy flow of IEGNs to avoid the unsolvable situation. From the discussion above, the optimal scheduling of PDN-based IEGN toward active power is studied. Still, the above works have neither considered the balance of reactive power nor taken the reactive power generation in the IEGN as a given value, which is not in line with the actual operation of the IEGN.
Reactive power is vital in ensuring reliable active power delivery, maintaining system voltage security, and reducing power loss. Higher penetration of distributed energy resources in the IEGN can also cause a bottleneck in power delivery, which poses new challenges to reactive power and voltage issues. To overcome this shortage, Zhang and Ren [22] proposed an optimal reactive power dispatch (ORPD) model to minimize energy loss without surging the cost of equipment investment and manpower for operation and maintenance. Introducing market mechanisms, a two-level framework for the operation of a competitive market for reactive power ancillary services is proposed in Ref. [23], in which the pricing policy for reactive power is utilized to improve trading efficiency. To overcome the difficulties brought by the nonlinearity of the alternating current power flow (ACPF), a linear approximating method for the ACPF is investigated in Ref. [24]. In Ref. [25], the border PMU measurements are utilized to guarantee the accuracy of the equivalent optimal reactive power flow model. However, the considered reactive power resources in the mentioned work are mainly synchronous generators, shunt capacitors, and flexible AC transmission system (FACTS) controllers; the potential reactive power capabilities of the distributed power sources in the IEGN with microgrids are not considered, which may cause a capacity waste.
In practice, most of the distributed energy resources in the IEGN with MMGs are grid-connected through inverters. If the inverters operate in the variable power output control mode, the inverters can provide reactive power for the IEGN. This means that the inverters of DGs have the potential to change the energy distribution of the whole IEGN. Accordingly, considering the reactive power control capacity of the PV and wind turbine (WT)-driven doubly-fed induction generators, a reactive power optimization algorithm to minimize the active loss and node voltage deviation is presented in Ref. [26]. In Refs. [27,28], the function of the power conditioning system (PCS) of an electrical battery to generate both active and reactive power in all four quadrants is innovatively discussed. Then, an active-reactive optimal power flow (A-R-OPF) in the DPN with embedded ESS utilizing the nature of the PCS is proposed in Ref. [29]. In addition, relevant results show that reasonable in situ reactive power compensation for power systems with high penetration distributed power sources can effectively reduce network loss and improve the grid operation economy [30,31]. Although the potentialities of the inverter of the DG have been exploited to enrich the content of the optimal operation of the reactive power, there are still drawbacks in the existing research. Mainly focusing on a single power network, the above work does not take the real multi-energy coupling relationship of the IEGN into consideration. In addition, it is likely to cause an economic degradation of the IEGN without considering the electrical coupling relationship and full utilization of its internal active-reactive power sources.
Considering the interaction between the multi-energy flow and the coupling relationship between subsystems of the IEGN, a day-ahead active-reactive power scheduling model of the IEGN is proposed in this paper by using the potential reactive power provision of the DG to balance the reactive power and reduce the operating cost of the IEGN. This paper is contributive because a day-ahead active-reactive power scheduling model of the IEGN with MMGs is proposed to minimize the total operation cost. Through the coupling relationship between the PDN and the GDN, the potentialities of the IEGN with MMGs toward the multi-energy cooperative interaction is optimized. In addition, compared with Refs. [4,5], the utilization of the optimal inverter dispatch (OID) of the inverter-based DG is considered. Not only active power but also reactive power can be generated by the DG, which further maximizes the utilization of capacity of the DG in the IEGN. The proposed model is formulated into an A-R-OPF problem, which can achieve a considerable reduction of power losses. Moreover, considering the non-convex characteristics of the network constraints of the PDN and the GDN, second-order cone (SOC)-convex optimization is introduced to convert the original model into a mixed integer convex optimization problem, which can effectively improve the efficiency of calculation by invoking the commercial solver.
A summary of the recently mentioned literature is presented in Tab.1 which emphasizes the contribution of this paper.

2 Energy coupling in the IEGN with MMGs

The architecture of the IEGN with MMGs is shown in Fig.1, which mainly consists of three subsystems: a power distribution system, a gas distribution system, and a CCHP-dominated MMG. In the CCHP-dominated MMG, there are many DGs and energy conversion equipment, such as the GT, the GB, WTs, the heat storage system (HSS), the waste heat boiler (WHB), electric chillers (ECs), and absorption chillers (ACs). The PDN is equipped with distributed photovoltaic (DPV) and an ESS to generate power and flexibility. The extensive configuration of the distributed energy resources in the IEGN with MMGs ensures the supply of the multi-energy load, including electricity, heating, cooling, and gas. As can be observed in Fig.1, the CCHP-dominated MMGs supply their internal heating and cooling load by the CCHP units. In the GDN, the gas load is supplied by the gas source through the gas network. Owning ample energy conversion devices, the electricity load supplement in subsystems is not only directly achieved by the DG in the PDN and MMGs. Note that the components of the GDN are simplified because it is not the focus of this paper.

Based on the proposed architecture in Fig.1, the electricity-gas coupling between the PDN and the GDN in the IEGN is indirectly achieved by the CCHP-dominated MMGs. In the MMGs, the GT obtains the natural gas as fuel from the gas source through the GDN, and generates electricity to the electricity load through the PDN. The schematic diagram of the GT is demonstrated in Fig.2. First, the GT draws in the pressurized, heated air from the outside atmosphere, and the compressed air is pressed into the combustion chamber to mix with the natural gas injected from the GDN to produce high temperature and high-pressure gas. The high temperature and high-pressure gas expands and does work, which partially converts the chemical energy of the natural gas into mechanical energy and outputs electrical work. Then the smoke waste heat and jacket water are absorbed by the WHB for transforming into the heating flow, and the exhaust gas is discharged into the atmosphere for natural exotherm [32]. In this way, the gas turbine converts the chemical energy of the fuel into thermal energy and part of the thermal energy into mechanical energy. In addition, there are other couplings between the energy flows in the IEGN with MMGs: The GB realizes the coupling between the natural gas flow and the heating flow. The AC couples the heating and the cooling flow, and the EC couples the electricity and the cooling flow.

As the most critical secondary energy in the IEGN, reactive power supply cannot be ignored as much as active power. Equipped with inverter-based DGs, the IEGN with the self-sufficiency of MMGs toward active and reactive power should be fully exploited. In addition to the traditional utilization of DGs to generate active power, the ability of the DG inverter to provide reactive power is also significant. During the DG generation period, a portion of the adjustable capacity remains unused while the inverter provides a certain amount of active power to the PDN. This remaining inverter adjustable capacity makes it possible for the inverter to be used to absorb or generate reactive power. Through the OID [25], the DG can utilize the quick-acting characteristic of power electronics and reasonably operates its inverter in the PCS to generate a phase mismatch between the reference current and the grid voltage. Introducing the OID into the scheduling of the IEGN, it is promising to realize the independent and rapid control of active and reactive power production.
The presence of the coupled internal devices MMGs deeply couples the PDN and the GDN, provides abundant energy for the IEGN, and makes it possible for the IEGN to achieve its internal energy complementarity. Besides, by utilizing the flexibly scheduled feature of DGs, the optimal scheduling of the IEGN toward active-reactive power can be more feasible and easier to be implemented. Based on the above discussion, the input-output scheme of the proposed active-reactive power scheduling process of the IEGN with MMGs is depicted in Fig.3.

3 Modeling of scheduling method of IEGN

With important components models elaborated in the PDN, the GDN, and the coupled MMG, the active-reactive power scheduling model of the IEGN with MMGs considering the OID of the DG is formulated in this Section.

3.1 Objective function

The objective function of the active-reactive power scheduling of the IEGN with MMGs is to minimize the total operating costs. Hence, the objective function can be formulated as
min{iDmMtT(CtPPtG+CtQQtG+Ci,tDPV+Ci,tESS+Mm,top+Cm,tgas)},
which consists of the expenses incurred in transporting electricity from the utility grid, the running and maintenance cost of the DPV, the ESS, and MMGs coupled with the PDN, and the cost of purchased gas for the cogeneration unit. The items in Eq. (1) are further calculated in Eqs. (2) to (4).
CMm,top=Mm,tWT+Mm,tHSS+Mm,tAC+Mm,tEC+Mm,tWHB=Mm,tWT+cmmHSS(Hm,tc+Hm,td)+cmmWHBHm,tWHB+cmmACHm,tAC+cmmECPm,tEC,t,m,
Cm,tgas=mgas(Pm,tGTηmGT1LNG+Hm,tGBηmGB1LNG),t,m,
Ci,tESS=miESS(Bi,tc+Bi,td),t,i.
The model should also satisfy the following constraints.

3.2 Constraints of PDN operating constraints

According to Ref. [33], the operating constraints of the PDN are formulated as an alternating current optimal power flow (ACOPF) model. Note that the PDN is radical.

Pij,t2+Qij,t2Vi,t2=Iij,t2,t,b,ij.
The active and reactive power balance equations at each node are restricted in Eqs. (5) and (6), respectively. The transmission capacity limitations of the active and reactive power transferred from the utility grid are restricted in Eqs. (7) and (8). To ensure system security, Eq. (9) defines the node voltage equation, and Eq. (10) defines the voltage limits. Equation (11) is the line power flow constraint.
Equations (12) to (19) are the operation constraints of the equipped DGs, which the PDN should also satisfy.

Ei,0ESS=Ei,TESS,m.
Equations (12) to (14) describe the operation constraints of the DPV [26]. In the variable power output control mode, Eqs. (12) and (13) are the active and reactive power output restrictions of the DPVs, where weather-based generating capabilities and physical constraints determine the maximum active power output of the DPVs. Equation (14) explains the connections among the active power output, the reactive power output, and the inverter capacity.
Equations (15) to (19) describe the operation constraints of the ESS (Ref. [34]). Equations (15) and (16) are the power constraints of the ESS charge/discharge. Equation (17) restricts the energy storage dynamics between time slots t and t+1. Equation (18) represents state of charge (SOC) limitations of the ESS. Equation (19) decouples daily electric energy storage operation across multiple days and guarantees continuous operations of the ESS.

3.3 Operating constraints of MMGs

The microgrid, as a whole, consists of the DG, the energy storage device and energy conversion device, etc. It is an autonomous system that can realize self-control, protection, and management. As seen in Fig.1, the operating constraints of CCHP-dominated MMGs are modeled below [34]:

Similar to the DPV, the operational constraints of the WT are restricted from Eqs. (33) to (35).
e) Limitations of point of common coupling (PCC)

There is a two-way energy flow between the multi-microgrid and its coupled PDN. Equations (36) and (37) indicate the limitation of exchanged electricity at PCCs.

3.4 Operating constraints of natural gas system

The GDN consists of natural gas wells, pipelines, and compressors. The steady-state model of the radical natural gas network is formulated as [35]
wtwell+wuv,tvZwvk,twu,tGTwu,tGB=0,t,u,v,
ψmin2ψu,t2ψmax2,t,u,
wminwellwtwellwmaxwell,t,u,v,
wuv,t=Cuv|ψu,t2ψv,t2|,t,u,v,
ψct,tρcψcf,t,t.
The nodal balancing equations in the natural gas system are denoted in Eq. (38), where the gas delivered to gas-fired generators is regarded as a gas load. Equations (39) and (40) limit the upper and lower bounds of the gas nodal pressure and gas supply of the gas well. The Weymouth gas flow equation of passive pipelines is represented in Eq. (41), in which it is assumed that the pipeline gas flow directions are fixed under typical working conditions. Equation (42) represents the relationship between the magnitudes of the gas nodal pressure on both sides of the compressor.

3.5 Constraints of energy coupling node

The energy coupling node in the IEGN is the center for multi-energy conversion and integration of the electricity and natural networks. The major multi-energy conversion equipment in energy coupling nodes is the CHP unit and the gas furnace in the MMGs. The main multi-energy conversion restrictions are illustrated as follow:
wm,tGT=Pm,tGTηmGT1LNG,t,m,
wm,tGB=Hm,tGBηmGB1LNG,t,m,
Hm,tGT=αmGTPm,tGT,t,m.
Equations (43) and (44) describe the relationship between the power production and gas consumption of the GT and the GB, respectively. Equation (45) describes the relationship between the electric power production and the by-product heating power of the GT.

3.6 Convexification of the model

Based on an A-R-OPF problem, the formulation of the proposed model is a non-convex programming problem, which is difficult to be solved due to its nonlinear items of constraints. To address this problem, the technique of SOC-convex optimization is introduced to convert the original model into a convex optimization problem, which can effectively improve the calculation efficiency by invoking the commercial solver [36]. The specific relaxation of the SOC techniques is plotted in Fig.4, where the original problem is a nonconvex problem, whose nonconvex feasible region is transformed into a convex SOC feasible region after the relaxation. If the optimal solution after relaxation is still within the original nonconvex feasible region, the relaxation can be considered accurate; if the optimal solution is outside the original nonconvex feasible region, the relaxation is considered inaccurate [37].
Fig.4 SOC relaxation process.

Utilizing the SOC technique, the relaxation form of the nonconvex items in Eq. (11) in the ACOPF is transformed in Eq. (46):
{2Pij,t2Qij,tlij,tUi,t2lit,t+Ui,t,lij,t=Iij,t2,Ui,t=Vi,t2,t,b,ij.
Accordingly, the following modifications to Eqs. (5), (6), (9), and (10) in the model are transformed:
Pij,tlij,trijkJPjk,tPj,tD+KGPtG+KESSPi,tESS+KDPVPi,tDPV+KmPm,t=0,t,i,j,

Vi,tmin2Ui,tVi,tmin2,t,i.
Likewise, Eq. (41) are transformed as
wuv,tCuvψu,t2Cuvψv,t,t,u,v.
After the transformations, the final form of the scheduling model is obtained in Eq. (52).
min{iDmMtT(CtPPtG+CtQPtG+Ci,tDPV+Ci,tESS+Mm,top+Cm,tgas)}s.t.Eqs.(2)(4),(7)(8),(10),(12)(40),(42)(45),(46)(51).
As of here, the active-reactive power scheduling model of the IEGN has been transformed into a convex optimization problem, which can be efficiently solved by the commercial solver. To verify the accuracy of the SOC relaxation method, Eqs. (53) and (54) are used to define the error indicators.
εij,tPDN=|lij,t(Pij,t)2+(Qij,t)2Ui,t|,t,i,ij,
εuv,tGDN=|(Cuvψv,t)2(wuv,t)2(Cuvψu,t)2|,t,u,uv.

4 Case study

In this Section, an IEGN with CCHP-dominated MMGs [34] test system constructed by the IEEE 33-node PDN [33] and the 7-node GDN [35] is used to evaluate the performance of the proposed method. In this test system, there are two DPVs and three microgrids located in the PDN, and each microgrid contains gas-fired units that couple the PDN and the GDN, such as the GT or the GB. In the PDN, the total base loads are 4.09 MW and 2.53 Mvar, the base voltage is set at 12.66 kV, and the voltage limits are set as [0.95, 1.05] p.u.. The GDN has two gas wells, an electric compressor, and five passive pipelines. The topology of the text system is plotted in Fig.5. For sufficient calculation, the MOSEK 8.0 solver with the CVX toolbox in MATLAB is applied to solve the proposed model. The simulations are conducted on a computer with Intel Core i5 2.70 GHz CPU and 16 GB RAM.

To illustrate the validity of the scheduling method, four cases of operation of the IEGN are employed:
Case 1: Only active power scheduling is applied to the IEGN, and the utilization of the inverter of the DG to generate reactive power is not considered.
Case 2: Considering the utilization of the inverter of the DG to generate reactive power, the proposed active-reactive power scheduling is applied to the IEGN. Only the ESS is equipped in the PDN as a flexible device.
Case 3: Considering the utilization of the inverter of the DG to generate reactive power, the proposed active-reactive power scheduling is applied to the IEGN. Only the HSS is equipped with MMGs as a flexible device.
Case 4: Considering the utilization of the inverter of the DG to generate reactive power, the proposed active-reactive power scheduling is applied to the IEGN. Moreover, the ESS and the HSS are equipped as flexible devices in the PDN and MMGs.

4.1 Day-ahead scheduling results of the IEGN with MMGs

The quantity of the active power transported from the utility grid to the PDN in Cases 1 to 4 is compared in Fig.9. Correlatively, the charging state of the ESS equipped in the IEGN in Case 4 is depicted in Fig.10. The purchased costs of the active power of the IEGN in Cases 1 to 4 is tabulated in Tab.4. It can be seen in Fig.9 that Cases 1, 3, and 4 have the same value toward the transferred active power from the utility grid because the scheduling methods and equipment configurations in Cases 1, 3, and 4 have the same impact on the active power. At the same time, they are partially different from Case 2. For narrative purposes, only Cases 2 and 4 will be compared subsequently. It is observed that at the utilized test parameters, compared to Case 2, the active power transported from the utility grid in Case 4 increases by 31.98% from 11:00 pm to 4:00 am and decreases by 33.16% from 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm. Further analysis can be conducted in combination with the charging state of the ESS in Case 4 in Fig.10. It is clearly observed that the increasing/decreasing phenomenon is correlated with the charging state of the ESS. Flexibly responding to the time-of-use tariffs, the ESS performs active power charging at lower active power price periods, such as from 11:00 pm to 3:00 pm, and the ESS discharges at the higher active power price periods, such as from 3:00 pm to 6:00 pm. According to Tab.4, more conclusions can be drawn that the IEGN with MMGs in Case 4, after applying the proposed scheduling method and equipment configurations toward active power, can arrange the charging and discharging of the ESS flexibly to take advantage of the difference of the active power price between different periods during a day. Taking advantage of the ability of the ESS to shift and smooth the active power load, the PDN in the IEGN with MMGs can get more usable flexibility and further cut the active power cost by $32.20 (compared to Case 2).

The quantity of purchased gas of the GDN in Cases 1 to 4 is compared in Fig.11, and the heat storage and heat release results of the HSS in microgrid 3 is shown in Fig.12. Relatively, Tab.5 records a comparison of the gas consumption costs. Similar to the former analysis toward active power, the following comparisons are only discussed between Case 3 and 4 to highlight the impact of the response capability of the HSS in MMGs. However, the gas consumption cost in Case 4 is $20.30 higher compared to that in Case 3. The reason for this is that the missing HSS makes the gas consumption of the IEGN less economical, and thus the IEGN with MMGs in Case 3 chooses to use less gas to reduce its total costs. It can be concluded that without the HSS, instead of consuming more natural gas to produce heating power, the IEGN with the dependence of MMGs on the electricity transported from the PDN has been improved to a certain extent.

Fig.13 and Fig.14 show the quantity of the reactive power delivered from the utility and power loss of the PDN within a 24 h time slot. Tab.6 calculates the purchased cost of the reactive power, the total power loss, and the total operating cost of the IEGN with MMGs in Cases 1 to 4. To simplify the representation, only Case 1 is taken as the base case and Case 4 as the experimental comparison. It is shown in Fig.13 and Fig.14 that compared to Case 2, there is a significant drop both in the purchased reactive power and the power loss of Case 4 within a 24 h time slot, up by 32.15% and 38.9% at the utilized test parameters, respectively. Moreover, it is obviously noticed in Tab.6 that after applying the proposed scheduling method, the power loss in the PDN can be reduced by 0.41 kW per day (compared to Case 1). Besides, when it comes to the comparisons of the total operating cost of the IEGN with MMGs in Cases 1 to 4, it can be seen that the proposed scheduling method in Case 4 can decrease the total operating cost by $19.80, $32.20, and $21.20 compared to that of Cases 1, 2, and 3, respectively. It can be concluded that with the consideration of the active-reactive power output of the inverter by applying the OID and the installation of flexible devices like the ESS and the HSS, the proposed active-reactive power scheduling method of the IEGN can effectively reduce the total operating cost.

4.2 Error verification for SOC relaxation

The SOC relaxation errors of the power and gas networks are shown in Fig.15, it can be seen that the SOC relaxation error of each branch in the PDN is of an order of 10−3 at each time, while the SOC relaxation error of each pipeline in the GDN is of order 10−7 at each time. The relaxation deviation is small enough to meet the scheduling requirements, which verifies the accuracy and effectiveness of the SOC relaxation.

4.3 Discussion of scenarios with power to gas (P2G) equipped in the IEGN with MMGs

In the IEGN, in addition to converting natural gas into electricity with the help of the GT and other equipment, electricity can also be converted into natural gas or hydrogen by the P2G technology, so as to realize the bidirectional flow of energy between the power network and the natural gas network. For further research, the power loss with and without the P2G devices in MMGs is compared. The capacity of the P2G devices in each microgrid is 100 kW, and the conversion efficiency of the P2G is set to 0.6 [40, 41]. It is shown in Fig.16 that the equipping P2G devices in the IEGN with MMGs can significantly reduce the power loss, especially during peak hours of the gas price. The reason for this is that the P2G devices are more inclined to convert the excess electricity into natural gas at the time of high-power generation and high gas price periods in MMGs to reduce the total operating cost, thereby reducing the quantity of power flow in the PDN and further reducing the power loss.

5 Conclusions

This paper proposes a day-ahead active-reactive power scheduling method of the IEGN with MMGs. In view of the coupling relationship between the PDN and the GDN, the characteristic of CCHP-dominated MMGs, and the interaction between multi-energy flows, this method guides the scheduling results of the IEGN with MMGs by utilizing their internal flexibility resources and realizing energy share to minimize the total operating cost. Considering the non-convex characteristics of the PDN and the constraints of the GDN, the technique of SOC-convex optimization is introduced to convert the original model into the convex optimization problem for efficient calculation under the premise of ensuring accuracy. The test case of the proposed model in four different scenarios is investigated to demonstrate the feasibility and efficiency of the propose method. The key conclusions made from the case studies are as follows:
1) The proposed scheduling method can decrease the total operating costs by $19.80, $32.20, and $21.20 compared to the control group. Besides, the proposed method has a reduction of 9.86% of the total power losses, and the maximum power loss reduction in a single moment can be up to 38.9% in the case study.
2) It can be concluded that by considering the active and reactive power support capacity of the DG, the active-reactive power scheduling of the IEGN with MMGs can realize the collaborative optimization of its subsystems, improve the flexibility and economy of system operation, and effectively reduce the energy loss in the transmission network.
3) Taking advantage of the OID of the DG to generate active and reactive power, the maximized consumption capacities of the WT and the active power of the DPV is achieved along with maximizing the amount of their available reactive power.
The uncertainty of renewable energy is not considered in this paper, which is a limit of this work. In the future, the model can be extended with the introduction of uncertainty of renewable energy in the IEGN.
