Gas generation and heat storage are playing a prominent role to multi-energy systems (MES), and coordinated planning of integrated electricity, heat and gas infrastructures can highly benefit MES. In this context, a coordinated planning model of MES is proposed to determine the optimal expansion of conventional generators, transmission lines, gas boilers, combined heat and power units, and gas pipelines. In the model, the one-off investment cost of MES devices in the planning phase plus the operation cost and energy not served cost in the operation phase are considered in the objective, while the energy supply reliability, coupled operational security of multiple energy carriers, as well as the electricity, gas, and heat demand balance are comprehensively taken into account as the constraints. Afterwards, the Benders Decomposition method is adopted to solve the proposed expansion planning model in a divide and conquer manner. Finally three case studies on a 14-bus MES are conducted to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed expansion planning model. Simulation results indicate that the total cost of the proposed model in case 3 is saved by 9% and 2.8% compared with the separately planning scheme in case 1 and the coordinated planning scheme without candidate gas pipelines in case 2. Therefore, the proposed coordinated expansion model is very effective for MES Infrastructure planning.
