A Study on Coordinated and Optimal Allocation of Wind Generation and
Storage in a Microgrid Based on Power Balancing
Abstract
This letter presents a model for coordinated optimal allocation of wind,
solar, and storage in microgrids that can be applied to different
generation conditions and is integrated with the Gurobi solver. The
model has been developed for the purpose of dispatch optimization under
four distinct operating modes: wind, photovoltaic, a hybrid of the two,
and energy storage device configuration. The optimal scheduling
strategy, as a result, ensures that the costs are minimized while
meeting the operational requirements of the users. Furthermore, the
optimal scheduling strategy guarantees that the cost is minimized while
meeting the user’s operational requirements and ensures a no-power-loss
outcome with the addition of a storage device of a specific size. The
experimental results demonstrate a notable reduction in costs when
scheduling strategy of the model is employed, as compared to alternative
operational modes.
