Optimizing economical dispatch of a microgrid in islanding mode

Abstract

In this paper, the focus is on the dispatching strategy of microgrids with minimization in costs and emissions. The novelty of this paper is in proposing a new approach toward combined heat and power generation in a grid with renewable energy resources, such as wind turbines, photovoltaic cells which reduces the overall costs considerably. In this research, for simulating the optimal dispatch of DG units and other power generation resources, GAMS software is applied to the problem, which results in a lower calculation time.

Educating for Industry: A Call to Action for Bio-\/Biomedical Engineering Professors and Students [Point of View]

“…System engineers focus "on defining customer needs and required functionality early in the development cycle, documenting requirements, and then proceeding with design synthesis and system validation while considering the complete problem: operations, cost and schedule, performance, training and support, test, manufacturing, and disposal" [17]. This type of engineering activity, while not specifically mandated by design control, is becoming increasingly emphasized by the FDA as it moves to minimize the annual number of medical device recalls [18], [19]. The International Council on Systems Engineering recently created a Biomedical and Healthcare Working Group to identify, develop, and tailor biomedical best practices [20].…”
