Abstract: With the technological advances in energy conversion and utilization of multiple forms of energy sources, hydrogen energy has attracted increasing attention. The hydrogen energy can be used to directly supply the hydrogen demand and generate both electricity and heat through fuel cell-based combined heat and power (FC-CHP) unit. This paper proposed a multiple time-scale energy management solution for a hydrogen-based multi-energy microgrid (MEMG) to supply electricity, hydrogen and heating loads aiming to minimize the MEMG operational cost with consideration of renewable energy generation and demand uncertainties. The proposed solution consists of day-ahead energy scheduling and model predictive control (MPC) based real-time energy dispatch in the presence of the electricity market. In the hydrogen-based MEMG, the electricity and hydrogen can be dispatched and utilized across multiple interconnected subsystems to improve the overall system energy utilization efficiency. The proposed solution is extensively assessed through simulation experiments compared with a benchmark solution. The numerical results confirm that the proposed solution outperforms the benchmark solution with the mean daily actual operational costs reduced by 37.08%.
