Description
Summary:With increasing renewable distributed energy resources integrated into a microgrid (MG), it is difficult to realize its optimal operation due to various uncertainties, e.g., power outputs of wind turbines and photovoltaic cells. This paper presents a flexible scheduling model for the optimal operation of an MG in which the expectation of operational cost and the robustness of scheduling solutions are considered, simultaneously. To balance the tradeoff between minimizing the expectation of operational cost and enhancing robustness, the proposed flexible scheduling model of MG is formulated as a multiobjective optimization problem by introducing a robustness preference parameter. In this way, the relationship between the expected operational cost and the robustness of scheduling solution is investigated, and the fuzzy decision making method is used for selecting a suitable solution. Finally, a modified MG is used for case study, and simulation results verify the applicability and effectiveness of the proposed model.
