Low Carbon Operation Strategy for Microgrids with Distributed Compressed Air Energy Storage

Abstract

To improve the operation economy of the microgrid in a complex environment, a low-carbon operation strategy of microgrid with distributed compressed air energy storage is proposed. Firstly, considering the complex environment of regional microgrids, the coupling structure of distributed compressed air energy storage systems and microgrids is proposed. The new energy output and compressed air energy storage system model are established. On this basis, considering the consumption of new energy, a low-carbon operation strategy of the microgrid is constructed to improve the consumption level of new energy in the microgrid. Finally, the feasibility and competitiveness of the proposed low-carbon operation scheme are verified by simulation. The results show that the operation strategy of a low-carbon microgrid with distributed compressed air energy storage can reduce the operation cost by 57.3 %, and the new energy consumption rate can reach 97.2 %. The research results provide a theoretical basis and decision-making reference for applying distributed compressed air energy storage systems in complex environments.
