Industrial electrification plays a crucial role in reducing carbon dioxide emissions, and ensuring power reliability is important in this process. Reliability and techno-economic evaluations are fundamental to designing, operating, and managing power systems, ensuring that electricity is delivered continuously and securely under various conditions. In particular, maintaining a reliable power supply to industrial loads is critical, especially when renewable sources are present, as these introduce greater variability and uncertainty into the operation of industrial systems. Therefore, this document aims to use a cost-effective storage approach to ensure the reliable operation of sustainable industrial multi-energy systems. In addition, three storage mitigation strategies against random operation are formulated based on financial, technical, practical, and other aspects. A synthetic industrial model consisting of generic component representations in DIgSILENT PowerFactory 2024 is taken as a case study. The structure and parameters of the synthetic model are inspired by data from the literature and a hypothetical projection of a future evolution of a 500 MW sustainable industrial multi-energy system in Rotterdam by 2035. Numerical results provide insight into the flexible and cost-effective operation of sustainable industrial multi-energy systems within the context of decarbonised future Dutch energy systems.
