Distributed Renewable Generation and Storage System Sizing Based on Smart Dispatch of Microgrids

Distributed Renewable Generation and Storage System Sizing Based on Smart Dispatch of Microgrids

Abstract: This paper considers the contribution of independent owners (IOs) operating within microgrids (MGs) toward green power generation in deregulated energy markets. An optimization scheme is introduced for sizing distributed renewable generation (DRG) and a distributed energy storage system (DESS) based on a novel energy management system (EMS) that accounts for demand response (DR), DESS...

Microgrids Reliability Evaluation with Renewable Distributed Generation and Storage Systems

This paper presents a model for reliability evaluation of Microgrids with Distributed Generation based on renewable energy resources. In this approach, DG participates in the network operation coordination as an active agent and not as a decentralized generation under which the utility has no control. Stochastic models are considered for representing generation availability related to wind ener...

Smart Integration of Distributed Renewable Generation and Battery Energy Storage

Optimal Sizing of Energy Storage System in A Renewable-Based Microgrid Under Flexible Demand Side Management Considering Reliability and Uncertainties

Utilization of energy storage system (ESS) in microgrids has turned to be necessary in recent years and now with the improvement of storage technologies, system operators are looking for an exact modeling and calculation for optimal sizing of ESS. In the proposed paper, optimal size of ESS is determined in a microgrid considering demand response program (DRP) and reliability criterion. Both lar...

Cooperative control for self-organizing microgrids and game strategies for optimal dispatch of distributed renewable generations

The small size, extensively dispersed and decentralized, and high penetration level of renewable energy sources in the future smart grids make the application of conventional optimal power flow (OPF) neither practical nor economical. In this paper, a practical approach is proposed to realize high penetration of distributed generators (DGs) by organizing them in some groups within a microgrid an...
