Advanced control and management functionalities for multi-microgrids

This paper addresses the extension of the microgrid concept, following a massive integration of these active cells in power distribution networks, by adopting a coordinated management strategy together with distributed generation units directly connected to the medium voltage distribution network. In order to achieve this, a technical and commercial management scheme must be developed for coordinated control of a distribution system with multi-microgrids, which should take into account the sp...

A meta-heuristic approach to the unit commitment problem under network constraints

Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to solve the problem of committing electric power generators (unit commitment, UC), considering network constraints. Design/methodology/approach - The UC is first solved with a local search based meta-heuristic, following the assumption that all generators and loads are connected to a single network node. For evaluation purposes, the economical production levels of the units committed are computed by running a pre-dispatch algorithm where network constra...
