A Secured Social-Economic Framework Based on PEM-Blockchain for Optimal Scheduling of Reconfigurable Interconnected Microgrids

Optimal scheduling of reconfigurable interconnected microgrids is a precious and critical task for the residential consumers especially with integration renewable energy sources, dispatchable units storage systems. In this regard, not only optimal in realistic correlated environment necessity, but also guarantied security prevention cyber-attacks are mandatory tasks operators. This article first addresses these issues by developing novel framework based on blockchain secured data transaction from individual microgrids’ components to central control unit then tries find plan using stochastic programming point estimate method (PEM). Through such hybrid PEM-blockchain framework, can supply loads fully reliable, economic structure. We consider social-economic minimize total operating cost microgrids, benefit customers enhancing social factors through switching. Considering complex nonlinear nature problem, an effective corrected crow search (CCS) algorithm deployed most microgrids. The quality capabilities proposed model investigated practical microgrid. results show that switching could reduce operation $22,716 $21,935 (3.56% reduction). Also, average supplied (AENS) has reduced 1.4115 1.352 kWh/customer.yr (4.40% reduction), which notable values. advocate functionality framework.
