Abstract
Due to the intermittent nature of Renewable Energy Sources (RESs), advanced Energy Management Systems (EMS) are essential for Autonomous Microgrids (AMGs) to maintain power balance and stability. However, traditional EMS struggles with the dynamic dispatch of Vehicle-to-Grid (V2G)-enabled Electric Vehicle (EV) power flow, balancing Distributed Energy Resources (DERs), and addressing online computational delays. To tackle these challenges, this study proposes a novel dual-layer EMS framework that integrates the Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA) and Game Theory (GT) for AMGs featuring Photovoltaic (PV) generation, battery storage, a fuel cell-electrolyzer system, a diesel generator, and V2G-enabled EVs. The simulation results demonstrate that WOA effectively manages EV charging and discharging, allowing V2G stations to supply up to 62% of the total load during RES fluctuations. The GT-based energy allocation further increases renewable penetration to 85%, ensuring fair distribution, low operational costs, and reliability. The framework maintains computational efficiency, outperforming traditional EMS in optimization speed for real-time operation. Key contributions include a WOA-based V2G scheduling model that stabilizes AMGs by leveraging EV flexibility, and a GT formulation for equitable and economical DER allocation. The proposed EMS offers a comprehensive solution for sustainable AMG management, combining stability, efficiency, and high renewable integration.
