Distributed multi-generation and application of the energy hub concept in future networks

The recent growth of energy consumptions concerns not only electrical demand. In this perspective, the synergy between different energy vectors seems to have a key role for the future. In this paper distributed multi-generation in multi-vector networks with energy hubs and the advantages of this system for improving the management of loads and generators in the electric network are analysed. In particular, an optimization procedure based on energy market interactions is discussed.
