Abstract
The increasing integration of renewable distributed generations (RDGs) has made energy management (EM) in distribution networks (DNs), along with energy storage systems (ESSs), critically important. This study proposes a probabilistic EM framework for the techno-economic assessment of large-scale DNs, focusing on voltage stability, voltage profile, and total annual cost. The framework optimally allocates and operates wind turbines (WTs), photovoltaic units (PVs), and compressed air energy storage systems (CAESs), while incorporating real-time pricing (RTP)-based demand side response (DSR) and uncertainties. These uncertainties related to solar irradiance, temperature, wind speed, load demand, and energy price are modeled using Monte Carlo Simulation. A novel Adaptive Chernobyl Disaster Optimizer (ACDO) is developed and employed to solve the multi-objective optimization problem. The robustness of ACDO is evaluated against other metaheuristic algorithms using ten benchmark functions and the Friedman test. The proposed EM strategy is validated on the IEEE 118-bus DN through three case studies: (i) RDGs only, (ii) RDGs with CAESs, and (iii) RDGs with CAESs and DSR. Results from case (iii) show an 87.1 % cost reduction, a 6.95 % improvement in voltage stability, and a 54.9 % reduction in voltage deviations. These outcomes confirm the effectiveness of the proposed ACDO-based EM in enhancing DN performance.
期刊介绍:
The impact of computers has nowhere been more revolutionary than in electrical engineering. The design, analysis, and operation of electrical and electronic systems are now dominated by computers, a transformation that has been motivated by the natural ease of interface between computers and electrical systems, and the promise of spectacular improvements in speed and efficiency.
Published since 1973, Computers & Electrical Engineering provides rapid publication of topical research into the integration of computer technology and computational techniques with electrical and electronic systems. The journal publishes papers featuring novel implementations of computers and computational techniques in areas like signal and image processing, high-performance computing, parallel processing, and communications. Special attention will be paid to papers describing innovative architectures, algorithms, and software tools.
