Microgrid is considered an efficient paradigm for managing the massive number of distributed renewable generation and storage facilities. The optimal microgrid capacity planning is a non-trivial task due to the impact of randomness and uncertainties of renewable generation sources, and the adopted energy management strategies.
This paper presented an optimal capacity planning solution for grid-connected microgrid based on scenario generation considering multi-dimensional uncertainties. The efficient DCGAN based scenario generation method is developed to describe the uncertain behaviors of renewable power generation.
This paper presents a detailed review of planning and operation of Microgrid, which includes the concept of MGs, utilization of distributed energy resources, uses of energy storage systems, integration of power electronics to microgrid, protection, communication, control strategies and stability of microgrids.
An optimal capacity configuration model of the grid-connected microgrid is proposed, which comprehensively considers economic cost, renewable energy utilization efficiency and carbon emissions. Through the combination with the previous work, it provides a new solution to the problem of microgrid planning.
The DCGAN is adopted for scenario generation to produce a sufficient number of power generation scenarios to cover the diverse system operational patterns. These scenarios are further clustered as a set of representative scenarios that are incorporated into the optimization process to obtain the robust microgrid capacity planning solution.
Power reliability: A microgrid can provide a reliable source of electricity in areas with frequent power outages or unreliable grid infrastructure. With its own generation capacity and energy storage, a microgrid can ensure that critical loads are always powered.
