Abstract :

Energy management in microgrids is done with different goals such as reducing operation costs. In this approach, the microgrid operator tries to manage energy in order to supply the energy required by consumers at the lowest possible cost, by determining the amount of energy generation by each of the available energy sources. These resources can generate electrical, thermal or combined energy. In this paper, energy and structure management in microgrids have been done with objectives such as reducing operation costs, reducing environmental pollution and improving technical indices such as reducing real power losses. For this purpose, it has been used from options such as demand response programs, storage devices, distributed generation resources such as combined heat and power generators, renewable sources such as wind and photovoltaic units and feeder reconfiguration. In this paper, the genetic algorithm, which is one of the most valid meta-heuristic algorithms, is used to solve the optimization problem. Numerical results show the efficiency of the proposed model.
