ABSTRACT

Energy management is responsible for scheduling and controlling the distributed generators, energy storage devices and controllable loads based on the operating conditions of the system. The optimal planning of microgrids is also crucial, which aims to obtain the best solution to system configuration according to energy demand and available distributed energy resources during the planning period, together with the specified planning objectives and system constraints. A microgrid energy management system (MEMS) contains two main modules, which are supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) and energy management, as well as the associated hardware and software systems to support the functions of these two modules. The microgrid scheduling strategy is mainly used to schedule the power output of distributed generators and energy storage systems. Microgrid scheduling strategies can be divided into two categories: heuristic scheduling strategies and optimization strategies. Optimization strategies can be further divided into static optimization and dynamic optimization.
