Review and clustering of optimal energy management problem studies for industrial microgrids

Abstract

The optimal energy management problem of microgrids is an agenda item for the energy field. Especially industrial microgrids, whose energy demand is high and uninterruptible, need to be managed by a holistic view of optimization. Technical researches in this field are to be enriched with the literature review that looks through various angles. In the scope of this paper, the research literature is reviewed deeply and analyzed with the aim of presenting the gaps. Articles written in English, in the period of 2010 to 2019 have been revised thoroughly. By eliminating the search results, 105 relevant articles have been determined. Objective(s), criteria for analysis, processes included, power source(s), storage system, other system components and methodology of each article have been studied. The literature has been summarized, it has been seen that solar, wind, and diesel sources are used in about 82%, 55%, and 16% of articles, respectively. Then, they have been clustered using self-organizing maps. Nine clusters have been obtained which separate the articles clearly. Especially, three of them which have fewer data have been analyzed. Clustering results have been interpreted and utilized to show the research openings. Achievements of this study will lead the scientific research that will fill in the gaps.

Numerical research on a novel flow field design for vanadium redox flow batteries in microgrid

“…It contains important information such as distributed power sources and load types, the configuration of ESS, grid connection, and island forms, and reveals the internal connections of the basic components of MGs. A reasonable MG structure can improve the flexibility and stability of the distribution network, and solve the intermittent problem of renewable energy and the optimal configuration of the ESS 8‐10 …”

Modeling Energy Consumption in the Production Processes of Industrial Units Based on Load Response Programs in the Energy Market

“…Results indicated how the demand of this factory was moved to improve the total demand peak of the grid, although a comprehensive model of this industry's processes was not presented. In [15], an optimal energy management strategy was presented for the economic operation of industrial microgrids using renewable energy with high impact under both grid operation and grid-connectedto-grid operation modes. This approach was based on group particle swarm optimization, which was considered on a daily planning horizon with a one-time step the renewable energies generation and electric load demand.…”
