While these systems can be optimized within their specific topology (e.g. MPPT for solar applications and BMS for batteries), the topologies are not easily adapted to accept a wide range of power flow operating conditions. With a hybrid approach to energy storage and power flow, a system can be designed to operate at its most advantageous point, given the operating conditions. Based on the load demand, the system can select the optimal power source and ESS. This paper will investigate the feasibility of combining two types of power sources (main utility grid and photovoltaics (PV)) along with two types of ESS (ultra-capacitors and batteries). The simulation results will show the impact of a hybrid ESS on a grid-tied residential microgrid system performance under various operating scenarios.展开更多

They have to be optimally tuned to guarantee enhanced overall system stability. In this paper, two-microgrid plant with their associate PWM inverter connected to the ac main grid and the load is used as an example to demonstrate the capabilities of the proposed system. The Phase Locked Loop controller is designed and tuned using the Simulating Annealing algorithm. This algorithm is used to select the Phase Locked Loop PI controller gains with optimal percentage overshoot, rise time and settling time. The controller is tested during the transition between grid-connected and autonomous operation and in reverse order. The controller is compared with Ziegler and Nichols P and PI controllers. It shows the effectiveness and the extraordinary control response of the proposed control technique with respect to percentage overshoot, rise time and settling time control parameters compared to the conventional one.展开更多

This study designed an optimised solar wind power generation system to fulfil the energy requirement of a cold chain logistics centre. This study first conducted a thorough analysis of the clarity indicators and daily temperature positions of the cold chain logistics centre, determined the average daily electricity demand, and proposed an effective design scheme. The energy simulation software, RETScreen 8.0, was used to determine the scale of solar photovoltaic and wind power projects that meet the expected energy needs of the cold chain logistics centre. The results indicated that the estimated annual total energy demand was 833689.2 kWh. The annual power generation of 6 kW from solar photovoltaic projects and 150 kW from wind power projects was found to be enough to meet the expected electricity demand. Solar photovoltaic power generation and wind power generation account for 2.44% and 97.56%, respectively. The hybrid energy system achieved a 96.6% reduction in carbon emissions and provides a reasonable payback period of 6.1 years and an electricity generation of 904368.674 kWh per year. The feasibility of the project and the calculated period of investment return are very reasonable. Therefore, this hybrid renewable energy system provides reliable power by combining energy sources.展开更多

文摘This paper presents a holistic pricing and distributed scheduling framework for multi-microgrid system(MMGS)that considers the supply‒demand relationships of the coupled electricity‒carbon market to promote collaborative market trading within the MMGS for economic and environmental benefit improvement.Initially,an operation model of each microgrid is developed by synthetically considering electricity-carbon operational constraints related to generation units and energy storage units.Then,a collaborative optimization strategy of the MMGS is established according to the Nash bargaining game(NBG)model with the objective of maximizing overall operational revenue.To determine the trading schedule,an accelerated prediction-correction-based alternating direction method of multipliers(PCB-ADMM)algorithm is employed to derive the optimal scheduling strategy of MMGS in a distributed manner,ensuring the privacy preservation of individual microgrids.For electricity-carbon pricing,a supply-demand ratio(SDR)based pricing strategy is proposed to dynamically update electricity and carbon allowance prices,which fundamentally guides and incentivizes each microgrid to trade within the MMGS preferentially rather than with an upstream distribution network.Finally,a study case verifies the effectiveness of the proposed framework in enhancing the operation economy and environmental friendliness of the entire MMGS.
文摘To enhance the flexible interactions among multiple energy carriers,i.e.,electricity,thermal power and gas,a coordinated programming method for multi-energy microgrid(MEMG)system is proposed.Various energy requirements for both residential and parking loads are managed simultaneously,i.e.,electric and thermal loads for residence,and charging power and gas filling requirements for parking vehicles.The proposed model is formulated as a two-stage joint chance-constrained programming,where the first stage is a day-ahead operation problem that provides the hourly generation,conversion,and storage towards the minimization of operation cost considering the forecasting error of photovoltaic output and load demand.Meanwhile,the second stage is an on-line scheduling which adjusts the energy scheme in hourly time-scale considering the uncertainty.Simulations have demonstrated the validity of the proposed method,i.e.,collecting the flexibilities of thermal system,gas system,and parking vehicles to facilitate the operation of electrical networks.Sensitivity analysis shows that the proposed scheme can achieve a compromise between the operation efficiency and service quality.

文摘The control of battery energy storage systems(BESSs)plays an important role in the management of microgrids.In this paper,the problem of balancing the state-ofcharge(SoC)of the networked battery units in a BESS while meeting the total charging/discharging power requirement is formulated and solved as a distributed control problem.Conditions on the communication topology among the battery units are established under which a control law is designed for each battery unit to solve the control problem based on distributed average reference power estimators and distributed average unit state estimators.Two types of estimators are proposed.One achieves asymptotic estimation and the other achieves finite time estimation.We show that,under the proposed control laws,SoC balancing of all battery units is achieved and the total charging/discharging power of the BESS tracks the desired power.A simulation example is shown to verify the theoretical results.
文摘The large inertia of a traditional power system slows down system's frequency response but also allows decent time for controlling the system.Since an autonomous renewable microgrid usually has much smaller inertia,the control system must be very fast and accurate to fight against the small inertia and uncertainties.To reduce the demanding requirements on control,this paper proposes to increase the inertia of photovoltaic(PV) system through inertia emulation.The inertia emulation is realized by controlling the charging/discharging of the direct current(DC)-link capacitor over a certain range and adjusting the PV generation when it is feasible and/or necessary.By well designing the inertia,the DC-link capacitor parameters and the control range,the negative impact of inertia emulation on energy efficiency can be reduced.The proposed algorithm can be integrated with distributed generation setting algorithms to improve dynamic performance and lower implementation requirements.Simulation studies demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed solution.

文摘Base station operators deploy a large number of distributed photovoltaics to solve the problems of high energy consumption and high electricity costs of 5G base stations.In this study,the idle space of the base station’s energy storage is used to stabilize the photovoltaic output,and a photovoltaic storage system microgrid of a 5G base station is constructed.Aiming at the capacity planning problem of photovoltaic storage systems,a two-layer optimal configuration method is proposed.The inner layer optimization considers the energy sharing among the base station microgrids,combines the communication characteristics of the 5G base station and the backup power demand of the energy storage battery,and determines an economic scheduling strategy for each photovoltaic storage system with the goal of minimizing the daily operation cost of the base station microgrid.The outer model aims to minimize the annual average comprehensive revenue of the 5G base station microgrid,while considering peak clipping and valley filling,to optimize the photovoltaic storage system capacity.The CPLEX solver and a genetic algorithm were used to solve the two-layer models.Considering the construction of the 5G base station in a certain area as an example,the results showed that the proposed model can not only reduce the cost of the 5G base station operators,but also reduce the peak load of the power grid and promote the local digestion of photovoltaic power.

文摘As cyber physical systems,microgrids(MGs),with distributed generations and energy management systems,can improve the reliability of power supply for customers in MGs.To quantify the reliability of isolated MGs,a cyber-physical assessment model is proposed.In this model,the circuit breakers and distributed energy resources are treated as the coupling elements between the cyber system and physical system,where the circuit breakers are uniquely modelled by using the Markov process theory based on the indirect interdependencies between cyber physical elements.For the cyber system,the reliability model of communication networks is formulated based on the link connectivity evaluation method.For the physical system,a system state generating method is presented to account for the optimal operation strategy,which considers the influence of the optimization strategy on the failure consequence analysis.With the proposed cyber and physical reliability models,the sequential Monte Carlo(SMC)simulation method is adopted to assess the reliability of islanded MGs.Simulations are carried out on a test system,and results verify the feasibility and effectiveness of proposed assessment method.Furthermore,one application of the proposed method is on the parameter setting of the cyber system,in terms of enhancing MGs reliability.
文摘This paper presents an advanced three-phase four-wire interlinking niicrogrid system with an improved harmonics reduction feature.Due to their robustness and simplicity features,time-domain second-order notch-filter equivalent techniques have drawn a great deal of research attention.However,the drawbacks of non-satisfactory harmonics rejection characteristics and dynamic response limits their applications.In this context,this paper proposes an advanced control system with an enhanced harmonics reduction feature for microgrid applications.The proposed control system exhibits a superior harmonics reduction feature and better dynamic response than the conventional notch-filter based techniques.In addition,a control scheme is developed for a three-phase power system application which presents higher accuracy in compensating both balanced and unbalanced harmonics.The performance of the proposed system is validated through simulations and tested on the hardware of a real microgrid system.From the results,it is evident that the proposed approach provides excellent performance in terms of harmonics reduction in microgrid systems.

文摘Power system security against attacks is drawing increasing attention in recent years.Battery energy storage systems(BESSs)are effective in providing emergency support.Although the benefits of BESSs have been extensively studied earlier to improve the system economics,their role in enhancing the system robustness in overcoming attacks has not been adequately investigated This paper addresses the gap by proposing a new battery storage sizing algorithm for microgrids to limit load shedding when the energy sources are attacked.Four participants are considered in a framework involving interactions between a robustness-oriented economic dispatch model and a bilevel attacker-defender model.The proposed method is tested with the data from a microgrid system in Kasabonika Lake of Canada.Comprehensive case studies are carried out to demonstrate the effectiveness and merits of the proposed approach.
