Micro grid is widely used in real worlds for advanced forecasting and demand response of renewable energy source, grid integration, and operations. Micro grid consists of conventional and nonconventional energy source such as wind energy, solar energy, biomass energy, hydro power, diesel power, fuel cell, geothermal power, thermal power, etc. Micro grid is a combination of AC power and DC power such as wind, solar, fuel cell, biomass, and Hydro power, which is mostly used in micro grids. Grid can be operated by grid connected mode or islanding modes. Micro grid is classified into traditional micro grids and smart micro grids.

As useful supplements and effective support for large-scale electric power networks, micro-grid systems are the development tendency of future electric power systems. The planning performance of a micro-grid not only affects its security, reliability and economy, but also has a profound influence on the stable operation of large-scale electric power networks with the increasing penetration of micro-grids. Hence, studies related to micro-grid planning program evaluation are of great significance. This paper established a novel multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) model combining the best-worst method (BWM), the entropy weighting approach, and grey cumulative prospect theory for optimum selection of micro-grid planning programs. Firstly, an evaluation index system containing 18 sub-criteria was built from the perspectives of economy, electricity supply reliability and environmental protection. Secondly, the weights of sub-criteria were calculated integrating the subjective weights judged by the BWM and the objective weights computed by the entropy weighting method. Then, the cumulative prospect theory (CPT) combined with grey theory was employed to select the optimal micro-grid planning program. The empirical result indicates that the program with 100 kWp photovoltaic power generation unit, 200 kW wind power generation unit and 600 kWh NaS battery energy storage system is the optimal micro-grid planning program. To verify the robustness of obtained result, a sensitivity analysis related to values change of parameters under different risk preferences was conducted, and the result indicates that the selected optimal micro-grid planning program will not be influenced by various risk preferences of decision makers (DMs) and investors. The novel MCDM proposed in this paper is applicable and feasible in the micro-grid planning programs evaluation and selection.

This Research Approach shows how to use flexibilities of E-Mobility in planning and operation of electric grid with grid-supporting charging infrastructure. In the first part, we show how to deal with controlled and uncontrolled charging behavior during the planning of electrical grid. Therefore we show a tool for generating load curves and simultaneity factors and an example, how to use them for grid planning. The second part shows the concept of grid-supporting charging infrastructure, a simulation of the main functions and a feasible implementation in the Smart Grid Technology Lab of TU Dortmund University.

In this paper, power characteristics of hybrid wind, photovoltaic generation and energy storage device is studied. Two-stage Smooth Energy Storage Control Strategy is designed in order to effectively inhabit both high frequency and low frequency section of wind and photovoltaic power. A topology of demonstration project of hybrid wind power, photovoltaic, energy storage and power transmission in north China is considered for simulation. Power characteristic of different hybrid generation mode is studied, and the simulation results show reliability and effectiveness of the control strategy. The results studied have the important significance for grid planning and operation.
