Two-Stage Robust Optimization for Bi-Level Game-Based Scheduling of CCHP Microgrid Integrated with Hydrogen Refueling Station

Current technical approaches find it challenging to reduce hydrogen production costs in combined cooling, heating, and power (CCHP) microgrids integrated with hydrogen refueling stations (HRS). Furthermore, the stability of such systems is significantly impacted by multiple uncertainties inherent on both the source and load sides. Therefore, this paper proposes a two-stage robust optimization for bi-level game-based scheduling of a CCHP microgrid integrated with an HRS. Initially, a bi-level game structure comprising a CCHP microgrid and an HRS is established. The upper layer microgrid can coordinate scheduling and the step carbon trading mechanism, thereby ensuring low-carbon economic operation. In addition, the lower layer hydrogenation station can adjust the hydrogen production plan according to dynamic electricity price information. Subsequently, a two-stage robust optimization model addresses the uncertainty issues associated with wind turbine (WT) power, photovoltaic (PV) power, and multi-load scenarios. Finally, the model’s duality problem and linearization problem are solved by the Karush–Kuhn–Tucker (KKT) condition, Big-M method, strong duality theory, and column and constraint generation (C&CG) algorithm. The simulation results demonstrate that the strategy reduces the cost of both CCHP microgrid and HRS, exhibits strong robustness, reduces carbon emissions, and can provide a useful reference for the coordinated operation of the microgrid.
