However, these resources cause an extra dependency in both time and carrier domains that should be considered through a comprehensive model. Hence, this paper introduces a new concept for internal and external dependencies in Smart Multi-Energy Systems (SMES). Internal dependencies are caused by converters and storages existing in operation centers and modeled by coupling matrix. On the other hand, external dependencies are defined as the behavior of multi-energy demand in shifting among carriers or time periods. In this paper, system dependency is modeled based on energy hub approach through adding virtual ports and making new coupling matrix. Being achieved by SMESs, the dependencies release demand-side flexibility and subsequently enhance system efficiency. Moreover, a test SMES that includes several elements and multi-energy demand in output is applied to show the effectiveness of the model. %G English %Z TC 5 %Z WG 5.5 %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01274782/document %2 https://inria.hal.science/hal-01274782/file/978-3-642-54734-8_29_Chapter.pdf %L hal-01274782 %U https://inria.hal.science/hal-01274782 %~ IFIP %~ IFIP-AICT %~ IFIP-TC %~ IFIP-TC5 %~ IFIP-AICT-423 %~ IFIP-WG %~ IFIP-WG5-5
