Multi Energy System Modelling and Operation Optimisation for University Research Facility

Multi-objective energy storage capacity optimisation considering Microgrid generation uncertainties

“…On the other hand, energy storage systems are employed to store the excess produced energy and dispatch it during the peak demand period to effectively reduce the energy consumption cost [1,2,12]. However, owing to their high investment cost and short lifetime compared to other conversion units, oversizing or undersizing of these elements will reduce the economic profitability of the cogeneration system.…”

“…Conventional energy networks such as gas and electricity are traditionally implemented and operated independently. In addition to the adverse environmental impacts of conventional energy production methods, they suffer from low energy security, high operation cost, low energy efficiency, and low robustness [1][2][3].…”

Optimal Power Flow Scheduling of Distributed Microgrid Systems Considering Backup Generators

“…The efficiency of a DG varies according to its output power. This nonlinear variation of efficiency is linearised using a stepwise function as described in [23]. Although a higher resolution of linearisation can be attained by introducing more segments, the number of required variables is accordingly increased, resulting in higher complexity and computational efficiency [24].…”
