Capabilities of Battery and Compressed Air Storage in the Economic Energy Scheduling and Flexibility Regulation of Multi-Microgrids Including Non-Renewable/renewable Units.

Economic scheduling of multi-microgrids containing distributed units and storage devices is expressed in this scheme according to the multi-objective energy management system. Microgrid operator considers the economic, security, flexibility and operation objectives. The present method minimizes the weighted sum of voltage security index, energy loss, and energy cost. Constraints consider the optimal power flow formulation, flexibility and voltage stability limits in microgrids, and mathematical formulation of sources and storages operation. Microgrid includes non-renewable and renewable units, and storage system in network are battery and compressed air storage. Unscented Transformation approach models the uncertainties of the renewables output, price of energy, and demand. Fuzzy decision approach obtains a compromise point between economic, security and operation objectives. Combining grey wolf and red panda optimizers is able to obtain an optimal solution with low value for variance of the final point. Energy management according to various technical and economic indicators in the several renewable multi-bus microgrids considering battery, compressed air storage and non-renewable unit as flexibility sources based on the Unscented Transformation model and hybrid solver are the advantage, goal and innovation of this project. According to simulation results, the energy management of the energy storage and non-renewable sources in the microgrids with renewable sources can be improved the various indicators, such as reducing the energy cost and loss as well as voltage drop about to 30-60%, 46%, 46-50%, and improving voltage security equal to 10.55% compared with power flow studies. Flexibility of 100% is also reached for microgrids thanks to the incorporation of storage equipment and non-renewable power sources.
