Optimal Scheduling of Residential Energy System Including Combined Heat and Power System and Storage Device

This article deals with the problem of the economic dispatch of the smart home integrated energy system, including combined heat and power and the battery that is connected to the utility. The effects of the battery and electricity tariff are also considered in the system operation costs. Test results indicate that the optimal scheduling and proper energy routing in different time intervals would decrease the system operating costs. The optimal power dispatch strategy for different generation units and storage devices is listed in tables, which can be used as lookup tables.
