Multi-energy rural microgrids (MERMs) hold both economic potential and multi-energy coordination ability, emerging as a promising energy management paradigm in rural areas. In this paper, an energy scheduling method is investigated for a MERM with renewable energy and biomass resources, aiming to satisfy the rural electrical, thermal, natural gas, and irrigation demands economically. Mathematically, biomass flows are formulated by adopting a differential dynamics model of anaerobic biomass fermentation. The irrigation system is accurately formulated by fully taking into account meteorological ...
