Abstract
Secure operation of a DC microgrid with high penetration of renewables and electric vehicle load is challenging. This paper proposes a decentralized energy management scheme for a grid-connected renewable integrated community DC microgrid considering the water-energy nexus. Uncertainties of renewable generation, plug-in electric vehicle load, electricity demand, electricity price in the day-ahead wholesale market, ambient temperature, and water demand are modelled using a probabilistic approach. Correlation between the input random variables is modelled using Copula theory. Flexibilities on the consumer side across multiple entities (temperature-dependent loads, electric vehicles, and water supply system storage) are coordinated to form an “integrated demand response entity”, which is further coordinated with the DC microgrid operator side flexibility (electrochemical storage) to support system operation. A distributed dynamic pricing scheme is used to implement the integrated demand response program. The objectives of the energy management scheme are to minimize the DC microgrid operator’s operating cost and consumers’ electricity cost. The decentralized algorithm is solved by the “alternating direction method of multipliers”. Simulation studies on a six-bus DC microgrid test system demonstrate that the proposed strategy reduces the operating cost of the DC microgrid operator by and the electricity cost of the consumers by .
期刊介绍:
Electric Power Systems Research is an international medium for the publication of original papers concerned with the generation, transmission, distribution and utilization of electrical energy. The journal aims at presenting important results of work in this field, whether in the form of applied research, development of new procedures or components, orginal application of existing knowledge or new designapproaches. The scope of Electric Power Systems Research is broad, encompassing all aspects of electric power systems. The following list of topics is not intended to be exhaustive, but rather to indicate topics that fall within the journal purview.
• Generation techniques ranging from advances in conventional electromechanical methods, through nuclear power generation, to renewable energy generation.
• Transmission, spanning the broad area from UHV (ac and dc) to network operation and protection, line routing and design.
• Substation work: equipment design, protection and control systems.
• Distribution techniques, equipment development, and smart grids.
• The utilization area from energy efficiency to distributed load levelling techniques.
• Systems studies including control techniques, planning, optimization methods, stability, security assessment and insulation coordination.
