The cooperative planning of interconnected networks to achieve a sustainable operation
and satisfy the welfare of all agents has become a critical issue. This paper optimizes the
joint scheduling of integrated electricity and gas grids composed of wind turbines, photovoltaics,
storage systems, power to gas and gas to power units. In this regard, a risk-constrained
multi-objective programming is suggested to simultaneously model the
operation costs of both networks and a robust augmented epsilon constraint method is
applied to solve the problem and obtain the Pareto set. In order to simulate realistic conditions,
uncertainties of wind and solar energies, electrical and gas loads and energy and
gas prices are also considered. As well, the impact of flexible electrical and gas loads is
analyzed using a time-of-use demand response program. According to the simulations, the
presented approach is capable to create a good equilibrium between both networks. The
results validate that the risk-averse strategy significantly increases the costs of electrical
and gas grids by 21.41% and 10.36% compared to the risk-neutral strategy, respectively. In
return, the robustness is improved against fluctuations caused by uncertain parameters.
Moreover, responsive loads enhance decision flexibility and decrease the mentioned costs
by 2.26% and 7.83%, respectively.
