Optimal load distribution model of microgrid in the smart grid environment

Energy Internet: The business perspective

“…Microgrid is a small power distribution system, which supplies energy for consumers by several DERs, including distributed generators and distributed energy storage devices [54][55][56][57][58]. It is an effective supplement of main power grid in the smart grid environment.…”

“…The objective of energy big data analytics is to develop more effective and efficient data-driven applications and services. These applications and services include demand side management (DSM) [12,118,119], distribution network management [118,120], remote asset management [121,122], energy efficiency services [123], electricity pricing [124] and optimal load distribution [55,125,126]. These data-driven appliances and services of Energy Internet can identify and satisfy the dynamic needs of users more accurately, help energy service providers to gain competitive advantages, and promote the efficient operation of Energy Internet ecosystem.…”

Energy conservation and emission reduction of China’s electric power industry

“…Economic emissions dispatch (EED), a.k.a. optimal load distribution, is a complex non-linear and multi-objective optimization process which determines the optimal operation of power generation units to minimize the total costs and emissions, while meeting various constraints of power systems operation [40,[112][113][114][115][116]. More effective and efficient EED methods can be used to optimize the operation of power systems, therefore reducing the energy consumption and emissions in power generation.…”

“…With the development of microgrid, smart grid and smart energy related concepts, techniques and systems, as well as the penetration of renewable energy [37][38][39][40], some renewable power generation methods have been implemented in China, including wind power [41], solar photovoltaic [42] and hydroelectric power [43], etc. Also, there have been some research works that focused on the renewable power generation in China.…”

A framework of service-oriented operation model of China׳s power system

“…will be connected to the main power grid [14][15][16][17]. Also, these power generation and storage units are combined to form the distributed generation or microgrid [18][19][20]. As a result, the structure of China's power system is becoming more complex.…”
