Abstract
Energy hubs (EHs) enable all types of energy customers to participate in demand response programs (DRPs), such as inelastic loads, by combining electricity, heat, natural gas, and other types of energy. Integrated demand response (IDR) is the result of this new vision. From a global warming perspective, environmental emissions are a significant issue to be considered. Furthermore, hydrogen has been recognized as an attractive fuel for decarbonizing sectors that contribute to global warming. Thus, this paper provides a solution to global environmental problems through the utilization of renewable energy sources (RESs) and green hydrogen. In addition, electric vehicles (EVs) are expected to contribute significantly to this scenario due to their rapid expansion. Considering the uncertainty of electricity prices, this paper focuses on coordinating EV parking with hydrogen storage systems (HSS) and IDR with the aim of increasing flexibility, where a robust optimization (RO) method has been implemented to solve the problem. The results demonstrate that in the case of a deterministic solution to the problem and where uncertainty is at the highest level, the proposed scheme reduces the total operating costs by 13.89% and 8.67%, respectively. This indicates that the proposed scheme could avoid overinvestment and cost-effectively achieve the given carbon emission target.
