Abstract

Nowadays, microgrids (MGs) become one of the most recent interest of researchers and investors as a sustainable energy system. As MG is a group of distributed energy resources (DERs) with different intermittent properties, big challenges are presented when either integrating with conventional resources or renewable energy to feed different types of loads within a specified area. To face these encounters, MGs and energy management system (EMS) installations, operation, control performance, quality, resilience and security for such complicated system should be understood, analyzed and satisfied. This article presents a comprehensive review on the structure of the MGs, planning strategies, close monitoring systems along with the utilized interactive control approaches and optimization strategies that were developed for the MGs’ optimal operation. Also, the classifications of EMS based on supervisory control, and the approach for making a decision are presented along with their advantages and disadvantages. The role of MGs to introduce a reliable power supply for loads in different applications, especially critical loads are introduced. Among these applications is the emergency power supply for the critical and safety loads inside nuclear power plants (NPP). The utilization of EMS strategies and decisions in supporting NPP is discussed, to ensure they do not violate its safety rules. The integration between EMS, the NPP standards and the regulatory guides issued by the International Atomic Energy Agency and other international entities are presented. To attain the goals mentioned, more than 260 articles are handled but only 172 papers are introduced in this review. This article may be used as a guide for those interested in power system planning, control, improving power system operation and reliability and utilization of the MGs inside NPPs.

微电网能源管理系统及其在核电厂中的应用前景综述

微电网作为一种可持续发展的能源系统，已成为研究人员和投资者关注的热点之一。由于MG是一组具有不同间歇性特性的分布式能源（der），因此在与常规资源或可再生能源整合以满足特定区域内不同类型负载的需求时，面临着很大的挑战。为了面对这些挑战，我们应该理解、分析和满足这些复杂系统的mg和能源管理系统（EMS）的安装、运行、控制性能、质量、弹性和安全性。本文全面介绍了自动调速器的结构、规划策略、密切监测系统以及为自动调速器的最佳运行而开发的交互式控制方法和优化策略。并介绍了基于监督控制的环境管理体系的分类、决策方法以及各自的优缺点。介绍了mgg在不同应用中为负载，特别是关键负载提供可靠电源的作用。在这些应用中，为核电站内的关键和安全负荷提供应急电源就是其中之一。讨论了EMS策略和决策在支持NPP中的应用，以确保它们不违反其安全规则。介绍了环境管理系统与核电站标准以及国际原子能机构和其他国际机构发布的监管指南之间的整合。为了达到上述目标，本综述处理了260多篇论文，但只介绍了172篇论文。本文可作为对电力系统规划、控制、改善电力系统运行以及核电厂内核电机组可靠性和利用率感兴趣的人的指南。

期刊介绍： Annals of Nuclear Energy provides an international medium for the communication of original research, ideas and developments in all areas of the field of nuclear energy science and technology. Its scope embraces nuclear fuel reserves, fuel cycles and cost, materials, processing, system and component technology (fission only), design and optimization, direct conversion of nuclear energy sources, environmental control, reactor physics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics, structural analysis, fuel management, future developments, nuclear fuel and safety, nuclear aerosol, neutron physics, computer technology (both software and hardware), risk assessment, radioactive waste disposal and reactor thermal hydraulics. Papers submitted to Annals need to demonstrate a clear link to nuclear power generation/nuclear engineering. Papers which deal with pure nuclear physics, pure health physics, imaging, or attenuation and shielding properties of concretes and various geological materials are not within the scope of the journal. Also, papers that deal with policy or economics are not within the scope of the journal.
