Optimal Operation of the Campus Microgrid considering the Resource Uncertainty and Demand Response Schemes

Present power systems face problems such as rising energy charges and greenhouse gas (GHG) releases. These may be assuaged by participating distributed generators (DGs) demand response (DR) policies in the distribution system (DS). The main focus of this paper is to propose an management (EMS) approach for campus microgrid (µG). For purpose, a Pakistani university has been investigated optimal solution proposed. Conventionally, it contains electricity from national grid only supply fulfil demand. Under proposed setup, owned nondispatchable DGs solar photovoltaic (PV) panels microturbines (MTs) dispatchable sources. To overcome random nature irradiance, station battery integrated storage. subsequent nonlinear mathematical problem scheduled mixed-integer programming (MINLP) MATLAB saving cost aging cost. framework validated under deterministic stochastic environments. Among parameters, irradiance load have taken into consideration. Case studies carried out considering strategies analyze model. obtained results show that scheduling storage presence mutually benefit minimizing consumption (customer) (utility) which efficacy are compared existing literature significant reduction found.
