Abstract Energy hubs, as the prospect of future energy systems, are efficient and reliable frameworks for the generation, conversion, storage, and consumption of energy in multicarrier energy systems. Existing urban facilities in smart cities (SCs) can be considered as micro energy hubs (MIEHs), whereas the SC itself can be regarded as a macro energy hub incorporating its MIEHs. Moreover, the interconnection of MIEHs is particularly important to achieve high-reliability and economical smart city energy systems (SCESs). This article presents a framework for reliability-oriented expansion planning of multicarrier energy systems in SCESs. The proposed framework tends to improve energy not supplied and customer interruption cost indices for both heat and electrical loads, as well as the energy index of reliability. The proposed multicarrier energy system facilitates interoperability between different energy carrier systems to supply electricity and heat demand simultaneously. The interconnection of MIEHs is modeled through linearized alternating current optimal power flow and natural gas network constraints, whereas full interaction of the electricity and gas networks is realized by the power-to-gas systems and combined heat and power systems. The effectiveness of the proposed mixed-integer linear programming planning model is demonstrated in the Dattwil district (Switzerland) through four scenarios, analyzing the effect of MIEH interconnection, as well as the gas and electricity interaction within an MIEH. Simulation results confirm the effectiveness of the proposed method due to a significant reduction in total investment cost and a considerable improvement in reliability indices.
