This paper presents a stochastic model predictive control method for managing a microgrid. In order to reliably provide the required power for costumers, the proposed method enables the microgrid to use the renewable energy sources as much as possible while keeping the storage device to its maximum state of charge and minimizing the power generated by the micro gas turbine. The performance and effectiveness of the proposed method will be finally illustrated by simulating a microgrid model consisting of three nodes including a renewable generation source and a battery, customers, and a micro gas turbine.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
