| Summary: | The increasing energy production from variable renewable energy sources such
as wind and solar has resulted in several challenges related to the system
reliability and efficiency. In order to ensure the supply-demand balance
under the conditions of higher variability the micro-grid concept of active
distribution networks arising as a promising one. However, to achieve all the
potential benefits that micro-gird concept offer, it is important to
determine optimal operating strategies for micro-grids. The present paper
compares three energy management strategies, aimed at ensuring economical
micro-grid operation, to find a compromise between the complexity of strategy
and its efficiency. The first strategy combines optimization technique and an
additional rule while the second strategy is based on the pure optimization
approach. The third strategy uses model based predictive control scheme to
take into account uncertainties in renewable generation and energy
consumption. In order to compare the strategies with respect to cost
effectiveness, a residential micro-grid comprising photovoltaic modules,
thermal energy storage system, thermal loads, electrical loads as well as
combined heat and power plant, is considered. |
