Cloud Energy Storage Investment by Collaboration of Microgrids for Profit and Reliability Enhancement Considering a TSO-DSO Yearly Reward

A shared pool of grid-scale storage resources called Cloud Energy Storage (CES) can bring substantial benefits to the economical and reliable operation MGs. However, investment cost CES may not be affordable for a single microgrid (MG). As solution, we propose an approach in which neighboring microgrids distribution network collaborate form multi-microgrid (multi-MG) install increase their profit improve reliability. Different scenarios are evaluated by considering yearly reward from TSO DSO. For each scenarios, DSO give based on contribution peak-shaving reduction. Afterward, decision table is provided which, all profit, reliability index expected energy supplied (ENS), TSO-DSO determined. Finally, select one using multi-attribute decision-making approach. Simulation results case study validate effectiveness proposed collaborative framework increasing economic value investment, enhancement multi-MG, peak-shaving.
