Abstract

The European energy crisis and the global climate crisis call for a strong reduction of fossil fuel usage in the residential heating sector. Given the rising role of energy communities, we address this challenge by optimizing the design and operation of different energy community systems with a linear program and a genetic algorithm for rolling horizon control, respectively. In particular, we compare status quo systems that are based on natural gas, with purely electricity-based systems, and systems based on electricity as well as the local production, storage, and usage of green hydrogen in the respective community. Applying our method to a case study of a community with 19 households, across various regulatory scenarios, and two different objective scenarios, we find that including hydrogen can achieve considerable CO2 emission reduction, higher self-sufficiency, and lower costs than systems using natural gas for heating. Set-ups without hydrogen, but with larger electric heat pumps, achieve similar emission reductions at lower costs but enable less self-sufficiency in the community.
