This paper presents a cooperative strategy for the energy management of networked microgrids that prioritizes the total cost of microgrids as the main objective, and energy not supplied and the independence of microgrids as secondary objectives. Through stochastic optimization and ranking optimal Pareto solutions, the proposed strategy is shown to improve energy supplied, power losses, and system independence by significant percentages.
This paper presents a cooperative strategy for the energy management of the networked microgrids. The proposed strategy considers the daily cost of the system, energy not supplied, and the independence of microgrids to determine the best plan for the microgrids. The operator of the microgrids prioritizes its objective to the main and secondary objectives. Since the total cost of microgrids has high importance, it has been considered as the main objective. However, the energy not supplied and the independence of microgrids are the secondary objectives that have the ability to be optimized in a limited space. This cooperative strategy allows microgrids to share their local resources and minimizes the total cost of microgrids. Stochastic optimization is performed to handle the uncertain nature of market prices and renewable generation. Also, the optimal Pareto solutions are ranked using the paired comparison matrix and technique for order of preference by similarity to ideal solution. To evaluate the efficiency of the proposed strategy, it has been tested on a sample multi-microgrid system. The simulation results show that the proposed model is able to improve the amount of energy supplied, power losses, and independence of the system by 71.5 %, 8.19 %, and 4%, respectively.

Optimal Day-ahead Dynamic Pricing of Grid-connected Residential Renewable Energy Resources Under Different Metering Mechanisms

Kimia Parandeh, Abed Bagheri, Shahram Jadid

Summary: Nowadays, grid-connected renewable energy resources are widely used in the electricity market. To provide household consumers with photovoltaic (PV) systems, bilateral interfaces are required for energy and data exchange. Day-ahead dynamic pricing is an effective method for integrating renewable energy resources with smart grids and ensuring social welfare. Different metering mechanisms such as feed-in tariffs, net metering, and net purchase and sale play important roles in power grid operation planning. In this paper, optimal condition decomposition method is used to analyze the day-ahead dynamic pricing of grid-connected residential renewable energy resources under different metering mechanisms and carbon emission taxes. The results show that net metering and net purchase and sale mechanisms can significantly reduce total load while feed-in tariff mechanism increases social welfare without load reduction.

Two-stage energy scheduling framework for multi-microgrid system in market environment

Ali Jani, Shahram Jadid

Summary: This paper focuses on the day-ahead and real-time transactive energy markets in the multi-microgrid system. The main purpose is to obtain an optimal schedule for the energy management of microgrids in energy markets. The proposed approach is modeled in a time frame including offline and online classes using a bi-level optimization structure. The first stage considers the day-ahead scheduling of the multi-microgrid system using game theory, where a retail market is established for transactive energy exchange between the microgrids and the microgrid community on an hourly time scale. The second stage focuses on managing the fluctuations of renewables and electricity demand on a shorter time scale and forming a real-time market in the multi-microgrid. The purpose of the second stage implementation is real-time dispatch to minimize the imbalance cost of the microgrids and the microgrid community. The simulation results show that in a cooperative space between neighboring microgrids, the total operating cost is reduced by $61.26. Moreover, this cost reduction reaches $44.05 by moving the battery energy storage systems to the level of microgrids.

A robust model of local energy market under a security constraint-based approach for distribution system operator and multi-energy microgrids

Ali Sahebi, Shahram Jadid

Summary: Local energy market formation and the design of new market structures are essential due to changes in power absorption and injection caused by Multi-Energy Micro-Grids (MEMG) and combined heat and power units (CHP). Improving energy trading models can enhance the accuracy of trading schedules and system operating conditions. Robust optimization considers upstream market uncertainty and helps Distribution System Operators (DSO) trade energy with MEMGs, leading to improved energy trading in the local market. Simulation results show that real-time market uncertainty increases DSO operating costs by 16.34%, while strengthening the local energy market increases MEMGs' income by up to 44.4%. The IEEE 33-bus test system with four connected MEMGs is used for simulation.

Optimal electrical, heating, cooling, and water management of integrated multi-energy systems considering demand-side management

Hamid Karimi, Mahdieh Monemi Bidgoli, Shahram Jadid

Summary: This paper proposes an economic-environmental scheme for integrating the electrical, water, thermal, and cooling sections of a multi-energy system, aiming to increase efficiency and synergy in modern distribution grids. The use of industrial desalination units to provide potable water is considered, with a preference for groundwater resources due to high energy consumption. However, overuse of groundwater resources leads to various problems, such as climate changes and a lack of adequate water and food supply. Therefore, a multi-objective decision-making scheme is proposed to minimize operating costs and groundwater usage. Furthermore, thermal and electrical demand-side management, along with dispatchable and energy storage systems, are employed to address the intermittent behavior of renewable generation. The optimization results demonstrate that the proposed model reduces groundwater extraction by 26.8% with only a 1.12% increase in operating cost.
