The Impact

In this paper, a robust scheduling model is proposed for combined heat and power (CHP)-based microgrids using information gap decision theory (IGDT). The microgrid under study consists of conventional power generation as well as boiler units, fuel cells, CHPs, wind turbines, solar PVs, heat storage units, and battery energy storage systems (BESS) as the set of distributed energy resources (DERs). Additionally, a demand response program (DRP) model is considered which has a successful performance in the microgrid hourly scheduling. One of the goals of CHP-based microgrid scheduling is to provide both thermal and electrical energy demands of the consumers. Additionally, the other objective is to benefit from the revenues obtained by selling the surplus electricity to the main grid during the high energy price intervals or purchasing it from the grid when the price of electricity is low at the electric market. Hence, in this paper, a robust scheduling approach is developed with the aim of maximizing the total profit of different energy suppliers in the entire scheduling horizon. The employed IGDT technique aims to handle the impact of uncertainties in the power output of wind and solar PV units on the overall profit.

Abstract Demand response (DR), an integral part of the smart grid, has great potential in handling the challenges of the existing power grid. The potential of different DR programs in the energy management of residential consumers (RCs) and the integration of distributed energy resources (DERs) is an important research topic. A novel distributed approach for energy management of RCs considering the competitive interactions among them is presented in this paper. The impact of participation of RC’s in price-based (PB) and incentive-based (IB) DR programs is investigated using game theory. For this, an energy management optimization problem (EMOP) is formulated to minimize electricity cost. The utility company employs electricity price as a linear function of aggregated load in the PB DR program and an incentive rate in the IBDR program. RCs are categorized into active and passive users. Active users are further distinguished based on the ownership of energy storage devices (SD) and dispatchable generation units (DGU). EMOP is modeled using a non-cooperative game, and the distributed proximal decomposition method is used to obtain the Nash equilibrium of the game. The results of the proposed approach are analyzed using different case studies. The performance of the proposed approach is evaluated in terms of aggregated cost and system load profile. It has been observed that participation in PB and IBDR program benefits both the utility and the consumers.

The Impact

The intermittency of wind and solar power generation brings risks to the safety and stability of the power system. In order to maximize the utilization of renewables, optimal control and dispatch methods of the Distributed Energy Resources including the generators, energy storage and flexible demand are necessary to be researched. This paper proposes an optimization and dispatch model of an aggregation of Distributed Energy Resources in order to facilitate the integration of renewables while considering the benefits for dispatchable resources under time-of-use tariff. The model achieves multi-objective optimization based on the constraints of day-ahead demand forecast, wind and solar generation forecast, electric vehicles charging routines, energy storage and DC power flow. The operating cost, the renewable energy utilization and the revenues of storages and electric vehicles are considered and optimized simultaneously through the min–max unification method to achieve the multi-objective optimization. The proposed model was then applied to a modified IEEE-30 bus case, demonstrating that the model is able to reconcile all participants in the system. Sensitivity analysis was undertaken to study the impact of initial states of the storages on the revenues to the resource owners.
