Finally, microgrids are the mainstream of future power system construction and capacity allocation and scheduling issues are important directions for power system research. This paper lays the foundation for future research on multi microgrid scheduling optimization and hydrogen energy storage configuration applications. 2. Model building 2.1.
The wind and solar power generation system is the main energy source of microgrids. When the wind and solar power generation is sufficient, the excess electricity is absorbed by the energy storage system.
If power transmission is allowed between microgrids, simultaneously configuring hydrogen energy storage and electrochemical energy storage is the most cost-effective and environmentally friendly solution. The investment price of hydrogen energy storage is the most important factor affecting the allocation of energy storage capacity.
The term “microgrid” refers to the concept of a small number of DERs connected to a single power subsystem. DERs include both renewable and /or conventional resources . The electric grid is no longer a one-way system from the 20th-century . A constellation of distributed energy technologies is paving the way for MGs , , .
Each microgrid is composed of four parts: wind and solar power generation system, hydrogen energy storage system (including electrolytic cells, hydrogen storage tanks, and fuel cells), shared energy storage system, and power load. Fig. 1. System structure diagram. The wind and solar power generation system is the main energy source of microgrids.
