• Virtual terms promote filling operation and prime movers nominal conditions
• Penalty costs associated to overload and total emptying conditions

ConclusionsConclusions The Energy Hub was analysed via a thermo-economic approach
The impact of thermal storage was investigated, quantifying the impact on the system behaviour, both in energy and economic terms
Thermal storage allows to decrease the fuel consumption of 6% and to increase profits of 10%. However, such results are highly dependent on the energy demands.
In this work we use a simple marked-based approach, if we use a MPC to evaluate the rule of the thermal storage we could have an increase profits of 44%.
On going work
