“…From Table 3, it is clear that the ASA has a very good performance for the unimodal test functions. The ASA algorithm shows obvious advantage over the competitors in the remainder of high dimension unimodal functions, except for F 4 and F 6 . The multimodal test functions with high dimension are relatively difficult to optimize because they have many local optimal values and one optimal global value.…”

Pumped storage units (PSUs) are an important storage tool for power systems containing large-scale renewable energy, and the merit of rapid start-up enable PSUs to modulate and stabilize the power system. In this paper, PSU start-up strategies have been studied and a new integrated start-up method has been proposed for the purpose of achieving swift and smooth start-up. A two-phase closed-loop startup strategy, composed of switching Proportion Integration (PI) and Proportion Integration Differentiation (PID) controller is designed, and an integrated optimization scheme is proposed for a synchronous optimization of the parameters in the strategy. To enhance the optimization performance, a novel meta-heuristic called Artificial Sheep Algorithm (ASA) is proposed and applied to solve the optimization task after a sufficient verification with seven popular meta-heuristic algorithms and 13 typical benchmark functions. Simulation model has been built for a China's PSU and comparative experiments are conducted to evaluate the proposed integrated method. Results show that the start-up performance could be significantly improved on both indices on overshoot and start-up, and up to 34%-time consumption has been reduced under different working condition. The significant improvements on start-up of PSU is interesting and meaning for further application on real unit.

Currently, small islands are facing an energy supply shortage, which has led to considerable concern. Establishing an island microgrid is a relatively good solution to the problem. However, high investment costs restrict its application. In this paper, micro pumped storage (MPS) is used as an energy storage system (ESS) for islands with good geographical conditions, and deferrable appliance is treated as the virtual power source which can be used in the planning and operational processes. Household acceptance of demand response (DR) is indicated by the demand response participation degree (DRPD), and a sizing optimization model for considering the demand response of household appliances in an island microgrid is proposed. The particle swarm optimization (PSO) is used to obtain the optimal sizing of all major devices. In addition, the battery storage (BS) scheme is used as the control group. The results of case studies demonstrate that the proposed method is effective, and the DR of deferrable appliances and the application of MPS can significantly reduce island microgrid investment. Sensitivity analysis on the total load of the island and the water head of the MPS are conducted.

A grid connected renewable energy based hybrid microgrid, incorporating solar PV, biomass generators, and Gravity Energy storage system (GESS) has been proposed in this article. This is done to provide uninterrupted energy to a hilly village of North-East India. A bi-directional energy transaction with the central grid is considered for handling uncertainties and to gain monetary benefit through energy sale. The GESS is only charged through solar PV and biomass generators, to reduce the carbon footprint. The outward energy transaction with the central grid helps in reducing the energy cost for consumers inside the microgrid. Transaction price of energy from the central grid is considered from historical data available in the website of Indian Energy Exchange Limited (IEX). For different combinations of loading pattern and GESS initial storage, the Levelized cost of energy (LCOE) is found to vary in between INR 2.71/kWh to INR 3.41/kWh, which is lower than the current Nagaland state government approved tariff of INR 3.55/kWh.
