Transactive Energy Framework for Optimal Energy Management of Multi-Carrier Energy Hubs Under Local Electrical, Thermal and Cooling Market Constraints

The interactions among the multi-carrier energy system provide the opportunity to achieve affordable and clean energy by using energy resources in a more efficient way. In this paper, a transactive energy (TE) framework for optimal energy management of multiple energy hubs (EHs) is proposed. Each EH is a multicarrier energy system performing day-ahead energy management to schedule its electrical, thermal, and cooling demand profiles and manages its internal energy resources to reduce total energy expenses and the emission level of CO2.
