Smart Energy Management of Residential Microgrid System by a Novel Hybrid MGWOSCACSA Algorithm

Abstract

<jats:p>Optimal scheduling of distributed energy resources (DERs) of a low-voltage utility-connected microgrid system is studied in this paper. DERs include both dispatchable fossil-fueled generators and non-dispatchable renewable energy resources. Various real constraints associated with adjustable loads, charging/discharging limitations of battery, and the start-up/shut-down time of the dispatchable DERs are considered during the scheduling process. Adjustable loads are assumed to the residential loads which either operates throughout the day or for a particular period during the day. The impact of these loads on the generation cost of the microgrid system is studied. A novel hybrid approach considers the grey wolf optimizer (GWO), sine cosine algorithm (SCA), and crow search algorithm (CSA) to minimize the overall generation cost of the microgrid system. It has been found that the generation costs rise 50% when the residential loads were included along with the fixed loads. Active participation of the utility incurred 9–17% savings in the system generation cost compared to the cases when the microgrid was operating in islanded mode. Finally, statistical analysis has been employed to validate the proposed hybrid Modified Grey Wolf Optimization-Sine Cosine Algorithm-Crow Search Algorithm (MGWOSCACSA) over other algorithms used.</jats:p>

A Comprehensive Review of Artificial Intelligence and Wind Energy

“…Design optimization prior to wind farm construction is commonly done using GA combined with other AI techniques [130]. Most studied components are the foundations [134], generators [135,136] and blades [86,137]; whilst the aspects to be optimized are wind farm size [108,138], layout [109,139], power dispatch [140][141][142] and location [143][144][145]. One of the most common tasks assigned is microgrid size and configuration optimization, generally combining or comparing GA with PSO or other AI techniques to improve and evaluate their performance.…”

Minimization of Torque Ripple in the Brushless DC Motor Using Constrained Cuckoo Search Algorithm

“…Some algorithms can be categorized as simple or complex algorithms, which Electronics 2021, 10, 2299 2 of 20 are based on interactions within a group of individuals (i.e., a population). Individuals grouped into a population can compete (e.g., genetic algorithms) or cooperate, sharing information about the localization of a leader (e.g., particle swarm method or gray wolf method) [2,[10][11][12][13].…”
