Grid-Price-Dependent Energy Management in Microgrids Using a Modified Simulated Annealing Triple-Optimizer
نویسندگان
چکیده
This article introduces a modified simulated annealing triple-optimizer for finding the optimal energy management strategy in terms of financial gain maximization in grid-connected, storage-augmented, photovoltaics-supplied prosumer building microgrids in a variable grid price scenario. For evaluating the performance of the optimizer, a number of test cases are specified offering different trading options to the prosumers. Obtained results are compared to a total state space search reference method and demonstrate that the simulated annealing approach was for all test cases able to find a globally optimal or close to optimal solution in significantly less computation time than the total space search reference method.

Microgrids is an new opportunity to reduce the total costs of power generation and supply the energy demands through small-scale power plants such as wind sources, photo voltaic panels, battery banks, fuel cells, etc. Like any power system in micro grid (MG), an unexpected faults or load shifting leads to frequency oscillations. Hence, this paper employs an adaptive fuzzy P-PID controller for f...
