Optimal Operation of Microgrids Under Demand Side Management

Optimal operation of multiple microgrids under network reliability based on asexual reproduction algorithm

Today, the number of micro-distribution networks is increasing. Meanwhile, for various reasons that can be justified in the field of smart grids and electricity market, the optimal operation of these microgrids is of great importance. On the other hand, the existence of high-intensity accidents has been the reason for the creation of micro-networks in many countries, which shows the importance ...

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...

Optimal Management of Microgrids

Microgrids Operation And Control Under Emergency Conditions

Under normal conditions, the MicroGrid operates interconnected with the upstream medium voltage network. However, scheduled or forced isolation can take place. In such conditions, the MicroGrid must have the ability to operate stably and autonomously, requiring the development of suitable control strategies in order to enable MicroGrid islanded operation. The MicroGrid power sources can also be...

Optimal Operation of Integrated Energy Systems Considering Demand Response Program

This study presents an optimal framework for the operation of integrated energy systems using demand response programs. The main goal of integrated energy systems is to optimally supply various demands using different energy carriers such as electricity, heating, and cooling. Considering the power market price, this work investigates the effects of multiple energy storage devices and demand res...

The Role of Demand Side Management in the Economics of Microgrids

Microgrid design entails the selection and sizing of appropriate energy generation and storage technology to meet a known or proposed load profile. For traditional generation technology (i.e. thermal generating plants), it is well known that the incremental costs of meeting high peak demand is much higher than the average cost and hence negatively impacts microgrid economics. On the other hand,...
