In this paper, a distributed energy management method for interconnected operations of combined heat and power(CHP)-based MGs with demand response(DR) is proposed. First, the system model of operational cost including CHP, DR, renewable distributed sources, and diesel generation is introduced, where the DR is modeled as a virtual generation unit. Second, the optimal scheduling model is decentralized as several distributed scheduling models in accordance with the number of associated MGs. Moreover, a distributed iterative algorithm based on subgradient with dynamic search direction is proposed. During the iterative process, the information exchange between neighboring MGs is limited to Lagrange multipliers and expected purchasing energy. Finally,numerical results are given for an interconnected MGs system consisting of three MGs, and the effectiveness of the proposed method is verified.展开更多

Application of load scheduling optimization is investigated during scheduled power outages, for residential consumer in India. The specific load shifting approaches explored include a day ahead predicted load schedule which is generated by performing a DSM referring to the forecasted day ahead outage. Whereas in reality the predicted may not match the actual outage, thus in these cases a fuzzy logic rule base is referred on real time basis to take corrective action & reach the best optimal load schedule possible to attain the lowest cost. The load types modeled include passive loads and schedulable, i.e. typically heavy loads. It is found that this multi-level DSM schemes show excellent benefits to the consumer. The maximum diesel savings for the consumer due to load shifting can be approximately ranging from 45% to as high as 75% for a flat-tariff grid. The study also showed that the actual savings potential depends on the timing of power outage, duration and the specific load characteristics.展开更多

Demand side management programs mainly work by shifting consumption from peak to off-peak period, which inconveniences some consumers and possibly creates a new peak (Reverse Peak) in off-peak hours. Growing use of Photovoltaic solar power in residences provides an opportunity to manage grid reliability and stability in a more flexible manner, and mitigates reverse peaks. We propose a community based scheduling algorithm that guarantees access to shared power capacity and integrates residences’ solar power into the grid. Results indicate peak demand can be reduced by up to 32.1%, while energy costs can be reduced by up to 14.0%. Furthermore, coordinated discharging can mitigate reverse peaks by up to 23.4%. Encouraging and integrating green energy generation and storage in the consumer side is crucial to grid stability and reliability.展开更多
