Abstract: Due to the uncertain fluctuations of renewable energy and load power, the state variables such as bus voltages and pipeline mass flows in the combined cooling, heating, and power campus microgrid (CCHP-CMG) may exceed the secure operation limits. In this paper, an optimal energy flow (OEF) model for a CCHP-CMG using parameterized probability boxes (p-boxes) is proposed to describe the higher-order uncertainty of renewables and loads. In the model, chance constraints are used to describe the secure operation limits of the state variable p-boxes, and variance constraints are introduced to reduce their random fluctuation ranges. To solve this model, the chance and variance constraints are transformed into the constraints of interval cumulants (ICs) of state variables based on the p-efficient point theory and interval Cornish-Fisher expansion. With the relationship between the ICs of state variables and node power, and using the affine interval arithmetic method, the original optimization model is finally transformed into a deterministic nonlinear programming model. It can be solved by the CONOPT solver in GAMS software to obtain the optimal operation point of a CCHP-CMG that satisfies the secure operation requirements considering the higher-order uncertainty of renewables and loads. Case study on a CCHP-CMG demonstrates the correctness and effectiveness of the proposed OEF model.
