Component Sizing of an Isolated Networked Hybrid Microgrid Based on Operating Reserve Analysis

The power-sharing possibility amongst microgrids (MGs) in networked (NMGs) offers multiple profits to the NMG by employing an applicable energy management system. An efficient system can provide adequate compromise terms of component sizing NMGs through MG collaboration. This paper proposes a procedure size for isolated hybrid microgrid. proposed design relies on optimum operation individual MGs. defined Reduced Factor (RF) identifies possible reduction dispatchable components, such as diesel generators and storage each MG. introduced RF is based operating reserve evaluation obtained from optimal MGs correlation between load profiles. Eventually, simulation practical results consisting three are presented verify procedure. theoretical expectations. show that NPC capital costs reduced up 13% 17%, respectively.
