In order to reduce pollutant emissions to improve environmental protection, and maintain microgrid stability during real-time operation, a distributed energy optimization scheduling and stability control strategy was proposed. According to the distributed nature of the microgrid, as well as operational objectives of different microsources, an optimal scheduling model for microgrid environmental protection was designed. Based on the proposed model, the tasks of each unit in optimal scheduling and stability control were described. Genetic algorithm (GA) and user datagram protocol (UDP) were used to implement distributed optimization and control of the microgrid. The simulation indicates that, compared with the traditional centralized optimization and control, the proposed distributed optimization and control strategy can clearly show the characteristics of each unit, and have a faster computation speed. Meanwhile, it can timely response once the voltage fluctuates due to power imbalance, so as to keep microgrid stability in real-time operation.

The largest amount of energy consumption in an automotive assembly plant is in paint shop. Optimizing the energy usage in paint shops will result in maximum energy savings. Instead of inventing new chemicals, new painting processes or new control systems in painting booths and ovens, our research focuses on developing an optimal scheduling procedure of vehicle sequence to achieve the goal of energy reduction. Specifically, by selecting appropriate batch and sequence policies, the paint quality can be improved and repaints can be reduced so that less material and energy will be consumed. It is shown that such scheduling and control method can lead to significant energy savings with no extra investment, nor changes to existing painting processes.
