Distributed energy resource system optimisation using mixed integer linear programming
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this study a mixed integer linear programming (MILP) model is created for the design (i.e. technology selection, unit sizing, unit location, and distribution network structure) of a distributed energy system that meets the electricity and heating demands of a cluster of commercial and residential buildings while minimising annual investment and operating cost. The model is used to analyse the economic and environmental impacts of distributed energy systems at the neighbourhood scale in comparison to conventional centralised energy generation systems. Additionally, the influence of energy subsidies, such as the UK's Renewable Heat Incentives and Feed in Tariffs, is analysed to determine if they have the desired effect of increasing the economic competitiveness of renewable energy systems. & 2013 Elsevier Ltd.

Coordinated resource scheduling in a large scale virtual power plant considering demand response and energy storages
Virtual power plant (VPP) is an effective approach to aggregate distributed generation resources under a central control. This paper introduces a mixed-integer linear programming model for optimal scheduling of the internal resources of a large scale VPP in order to maximize its profit. The proposed model studies the effect of a demand response (DR) program on the scheduling of the VPP. The pro...

متن کاملSmart load shedding and distributed generation resources rescheduling to improve distribution system restoration performance
After a permanent fault occurs if it is not possible to supply the load in the network, the optimal load restoration scheme allows the system to restoration the load with the lowest exit cost, the lowest load interruption, and in the shortest possible time. This article introduces a new design called Smart Load Shedding, abbreviated SLS. In the proposed SLS scheme, the types of devices in smart...
