Day-ahead optimal scheduling of microgrid with considering demand side management under uncertainty

Coordinated planning of the distribution system and regional energy network in the presence of responsive loads

“…Microgrids consist of a variety of electricity generation resources and consumptions. The existence of variable and uncontrollable production resources such as PVs and WTs 6 in addition to controllable resources such as microturbines, CHP units, 7 and responsive loads with adjustable and shiftable consumption necessitates the need for optimal energy management and planning 8 . Smart microgrids planning with different objectives such as microgrid type, 9 reducing losses, 10 costs, 11 and improving reliability due to uncertainties related to load demand, 12,13 renewable resources power generation, 14,15 thermal 16 and hydrogen demand, 17 heat storage, 18 demand response (DR), 19,20 and energy price 21,22 have been researched.…”

With the expansion of the energy portfolio and the use of different energies such as electricity and natural gas, various definitions of energy systems including multienergy systems, 23 energy hubs (EHs), 24 and regional energy networks (RENs) have been formed.…”

Assessment of Applying Demand side management Techniques on distribution networks performance: a practical Case

“…Therefore, the Electrical distribution networks will suffer a series of pressures as electricity demand becomes faster than electric power generation. Also, due to the distance between power plants and consumers and the lack of continuous communication between the power utility and consumers, the performance of power grids deteriorated [4,5]. Furthermore, aging infrastructure leads to continuous maintenance of the grid structure.…”

“…Furthermore, aging infrastructure leads to continuous maintenance of the grid structure. Also, among the problems of overloading of lines are an increase in system power losses and the reduction of voltage regulation, efficiency, reliability, quality, and safety [1,2,4,5,6]. According to the previous challenges, utility companies are forced to treat these problems by different methods .…”

“…DG, CB, and storage systems are the most expensive technologies and may not be suitable to match available generation with demand in some cases, while load shedding or load curtailment is indispensable to prevent any network overloading. However, the customers cannot accept this since supply continuity represents an essential need for them [5,9,[10][11][12][13]. Otherwise, loads can be fully controllable by implementing DSM during peak hours and increasing the utilization factor with a cost reduction.…”
