| description | In this paper, an optimal energy management scheme for islanded building microgrid networks is proposed. The proposed building microgrid network comprises of several inter-connected building microgrids (BMGs) and an external energy supplier. Each BMG has a local combined heat and power (CHP) unit, energy storage, renewables and loads (electric and thermal). The external energy system comprises of an external CHP unit, chillers, electric heat pumps and heat pile line, for thermal energy storage. The BMGs can trade energy with other BMGs of the network and can also trade energy with the external energy supplier. In order to efficiently utilize the components of the BMGs and the network, the concept of adjustable power is adopted in this study. Adjustable power can reduce the operation cost of the network by increasing/decreasing the power of dispatchable units. In addition, the failure/recovery of components in the BMGs and the external system are also considered to analyze the performance of the proposed operation method. In order to optimally utilize the available resources during events, precedence among loads of BMGs and the external energy supplier is considered. Simulation results have proved the applicability of the proposed method for both normal islanded mode and with outage/recovery of equipment during the operation horizon. Finally, sensitivity analysis is carried out to analyze the impact of change in components’ parameters values on the saved cost of the network. |
