Multi-time scale rolling optimal dispatch for microgrids with high renewable penetration by Yeo, Wen Hui

“…The day-ahead scheduling and intraday real-time dispatch data for all parameters of a microgrid, which are photovoltaic (PV) generation data, state of charge of ES, charging and discharging power of ES, price of electricity, buying and selling power of ES and lastly, power generation of DE, are considered. Using real-time data measured from a microgrid in Clean Energy Research Lab (CERL), NTU, the trends of the parameters have been studied to compare the impact to the day-ahead scheduling data, which is used for constant improvements of MG parameters to ensure reliability and cost-effectiveness.…”
