Optimization Strategy for Multi-Microgrid Scheduling Considering Hydrogen Logistics

The integration of multi-microgrid (MMG) into distribution networks can enhance the operational stability and economic efficiency of power systems. Hydrogen production using renewable energy within microgrids can meet the hydrogen demand in both micro grids and distribution networks. This paper proposes an optimal operation strategy for MMG that considers hydrogen logistics, incorporating wind and solar scenario generation, renewable energy-based hydrogen production, and hydrogen transportation. The proposed optimization model is implemented and solved using Y ALMIP and CPLEX solvers. Case studies demonstrate that hydrogen production within microgrids, coupled with the coordinated management of electricity and hydrogen loads in distribution networks, can significantly reduce carbon emissions and operational costs, while promoting renewable energy integration, indicating high potential for practical application.
