Renewable Energy Hub Optimizer (REHO) – A Comprehensive Decision Support Tool for Sustainable Energy System Planning

2024

Abstract

The transition to sustainable energy systems in the face of growing renewable energy adoption and electrification is a complex and critical challenge. The Renewable Energy Hub Optimizer (REHO) emerges as a powerful decision support tool designed to investigate the deployment of energy conversion and storage technologies in this evolving landscape. REHO leverages a Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) framework combined with a Dantzig-Wolfe decomposition to simultaneously address the optimal design and operation of energy communities, catering to multi-objective considerations across economic, environmental, and efficiency criteria. This paper introduces REHO and highlights its key features and contributions to the field of sustainable energy system planning.

Sustainable energy

Energy is sustainable if it "meets the needs of the present without compromising the ability of future generations to meet their own needs." Most definitions of sustainable energy include considerations of environmental aspects such as greenhouse gas emissions and social and economic aspects such as energy poverty. Renewable energy sources such as wind, hydroelectric power, solar, and geothermal energy are generally far more sustainable than fossil fuel sources.

Energy transition

An energy transition (or energy system transformation) is a significant structural change in an energy system regarding supply and consumption. Currently, a transition to sustainable energy (mostly renewable energy) is underway to limit climate change. It is also called renewable energy transition. The current transition is driven by a recognition that global greenhouse-gas emissions must be drastically reduced. This process involves phasing-down fossil fuels and re-developing whole systems to operate on low carbon electricity.

Renewable energy

Renewable energy is energy from renewable resources that are naturally replenished on a human timescale. Renewable resources include sunlight, wind, the movement of water, and geothermal heat. Although most renewable energy sources are sustainable, some are not. For example, some biomass sources are considered unsustainable at current rates of exploitation. Renewable energy is often used for electricity generation, heating and cooling.
