Despacho econômico e ambiental de sistemas integrados de eletricidade e de gás com inclusão de plantas de captura de carbono

Abstract

The economic and environmental dispatch of electric power systems (EPS) aims to optimize electricity generation at the lowest cost and with minimal carbon emissions. This research proposes an economic and low-carbon dispatch model that considers the interdependence between electricity and gas networks, the inclusion of carbon capture plants (CCPs), energy storage, and system losses, in order to minimize generation costs and carbon emissions. The proposed methodology was implemented in the Python programming language, within the PyCharm computational environment, and applied to the modified IEEE RTS-24 test system with 33 generators, as well as to two additional reduced-scale test systems composed of 3 generators, under different operating scenarios. The results of the computational simulations demonstrate that the integrated operation of electricity and gas networks, along with the incorporation of carbon capture plants and energy storage, enables the operation of EPS with low carbon emissions and reduced overall costs.
