Mathematical optimization, including techniques like MILP and dynamic programming, helps determine the optimal capacity of RESs to install in a microgrid, considering factors, such as peak demand, generation variability, and cost constraints [35, 37]. 3.8.2. Energy Storage System Selection and Sizing
Advanced control methodologies, including intelligent control systems and predictive algorithms, are increasingly employed to optimize energy management within microgrids. These approaches enable proactive decision making and adaptive management, improving system efficiency by reducing power losses and integrating renewable energy sources [23, 89].
Solutions are formulated that contain the electricity-hydrogen coupling characteristics and energy scheduling scheme within the microgrid, the multi-microgrid interconnection and mutual aid scheme between microgrids, and the carbon trading method between the highway transportation system and the energy system.
The operation and control of power systems are critical to ensuring microgrids’ stability, reliability, and efficiency, particularly as these systems incorporate various renewable energy sources and advanced technological solutions.
This transition is driven by the urgent need to enhance energy efficiency, address environmental concerns, and ensure reliable energy supply in remote locations. In this context, microgrids (MGs) have emerged as a crucial form of infrastructure for integrating renewable energy into electric power systems.
The planning and operation of microgrids hold substantial implications for the future of electric power systems. MGs mirror traditional power systems regarding distributed generation resources, storage systems, load management, and interconnection lines.
