Abstract:

Hydrogen has been advocated as a promising energy carrier to achieve low-carbon integration of urban transportation network (UTN) and renewable energy-based power distribution network (PDN). In this presentation, we discuss the hydrogen refueling service fee (HRSF) as a scheduling strategy to guide hydrogen fuel cell electric vehicles (HFCEVs) in selecting the hydrogen refueling stations. Correspondingly, the HRSF-based coordinated operation model is established to minimize the costs of UTN travel, PDN operation, and carbon emission, while the nodal carbon restriction, uncertainties of renewable distributed generators, and origin-destination traffic demand and constraints are considered. The proposed model is solved by the decentralized alternative direction method of multipliers algorithm and verified on the hydrogen integrated UTN and PDN in Sioux Falls. Numerical results demonstrate that popularizing HFCEVs contributes to emission reduction, and the HRSF-based coordinated operation strategy is effective in reducing the overall emissions, promoting renewable energy accommodation, and improving the holistic operation efficiency of the hydrogen-integrated UTN and PDN.
