Abstract
Energy hubs are multi-carrier energy management systems that efficiently distribute various forms of energy, reducing losses and environmental pollution. This paper examines Ontario, Canada, as a major energy hub, using a typical fall day pattern for energy demand. The model includes all power generation sources in Ontario: photovoltaic (PV), wind turbine (WT), nuclear, hydro, biofuel, and natural gas power plants. It also integrates the charging and discharging of electric vehicles (EVs) within the energy distribution framework. Managing the intrinsic uncertainty of the parameters is crucial for efficient operation. This study employs probabilistic functions to account for the arrival and departure hours of EVs, controlled using the Conditional Value at Risk (CVaR) method. Three methods, Information Gap Decision Theory (IGDT) with risk-seeking and risk-averse behaviors, and robust optimization, address uncertainties such as wind and solar electricity production, energy prices, and electrical, heating, and cooling demands. We compare simulation results of three scheduling scenarios for optimal energy production and dispatch. The RS-IGDT method can lead to significant losses during peak hours due to fluctuations. The robust method incurs higher costs by planning for large deviations. The RA-IGDT method balances deviations without the pessimism of the robust method, making it the recommended approach. • A comprehensive Energy Hub model using all types of Ontario's power generation plants. • Comparing RS-IGDT, RA-IGDT, and robust methods for managing uncertainties. • Examining the cost impact of increasing EVs compared to the current state in Ontario. • Assessing EVs' costs with and without battery depreciation in Ontario's EH model. • Using CVaR to manage EV-related uncertainties.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
