Microgrid optimal dispatching has become one of the core issues of microgrid energy management and integrated control, which is of great significance to reduce energy consumption and environmental pollution. As a natural heuristic algorithm, the butterfly optimization algorithm (BOA) has the advantages of simple adjustment parameters and fast convergence speed. It is widely used to solve nonlinear programming problems. However, BOA is easy to fall into local optimization and poor convergence accuracy. Therefore, an improved butterfly optimization algorithm (IBOA) based on skew tent chaotic map, Cauchy mutation, and simplex method is proposed, and compared with particle swarm optimization (PSO), whale optimization algorithm (WOA), sparrow search algorithm (SSA), and BOA, the results show that the IBOA has high convergence speed and optimization accuracy. Finally, the IBOA is used to solve the optimization model. The simulation results show that the IBOA can effectively reduce the power consumption cost of the system, promote the effective utilization of renewable energy, and improve the operation stability of the microgrid cluster system.
Based on the characteristics of the components of the fuel cell bus, and on the premise of satisfying the best matching of fuel cell system, power cell system, driving system and transmission system, the purging control strategy of fuel cell system is designed. Taking the fuel cell system as the control variable, the conditions of the cold start heating energy source switching and the target temperature of the fuel cell system starting are determined by the total energy demand and the power cell energy. The integrated thermal management system and the purging control strategy of the fuel cell system proposed in this paper can meet the needs of the fast start of the fuel cell bus at -30°C. Through the energy compensation in the low temperature environment, the scheme can provide the heating energy needed for the start-up of the fuel cell system in time and meet the requirements of constant heating power of the fuel cell. The experimental results show that the output power of the fuel cell is from 42% to 75% of the rated power, and the waste heat utilization accounts for 32% - 100% of the total power.
In nature, the variation of wind speed is characterized by randomness, fluctuation, and intermittence. In order to suppress the power fluctuation caused by wind speed changes in the process of wind turbine grid connection, a wind power smooth grid-connected control strategy based on the adaptive variational modal decomposition algorithm and the hybrid energy storage system is proposed. For the problem that the selection of variational modal decomposition parameters is subjective and experiential, which leads to the poor signal decomposition reduction degree, the sparrow search algorithm is proposed to optimize variational modal decomposition to realize the adaptive selection of key variational modal decomposition parameters k and α. First, the reference power of the hybrid energy storage system conforming to the grid-connected power fluctuation standard is obtained by the adaptive moving average algorithm. Then, adaptive variational modal decomposition of the reference power was performed to obtain a set of inherent modal functional components, and the low frequency and high frequency components of the modal components were allocated for lithium batteries and the supercapacitor, respectively. Finally, Matlab/Simulink was used to simulate and compare with the control strategy of low-pass filtering. The results show that the proposed algorithm realizes the selection of adaptive decomposition parameters of variational modal decomposition, solves the lag and frequency aliasing problems existing in power distribution of the low-pass filtering algorithm, and realizes the high reduction solution of reference power. The fluctuation of wind power connected to the grid is effectively suppressed.
