Reliability assessment of island multi‐energy microgrids

Multi-energy microgrids could result in more flexibility and increase reliability by interconnecting networks. Electricity gas networks exhibit very different dynamic behaviours response to a fault or failure. Gas have built-in energy storages that can continue provide reliable supply if inputs the system are compromised. This study presents novel assessment method applied multi-energy microgrids; combines an incidence matrix analysis identifies connectivity between sources load points with sequential Monte Carlo simulation generation adequacy evaluation. A case is conducted using electricity-gas microgrid. The electricity network multi-sourced grid, whereas supplied biogas plant. linepack (gas stored along pipelines) modelled account for slower dynamics. proposed evaluated on real-world distribution Austria. results indicate benefits of forming
