Abstract :

In this paper, the problem of micro-grid (MG) energy management in the presence of distributed generations (DGs) and active loads (ALs) considering operation, economic, pollution and reliability is presented. This scheme includes objective function that is minimized the summation of expected operation cost of MG and DGs, expected pollution cost and outage cost in the N-1 contingency. This problem is constrained to AC power flow equations, MG operation and reliability limits, and operation formulation of DGs and ALs including the demand response program (DRP) and battery. Also, this paper uses the stochastic programming to model uncertainties of load, energy price, renewable DGs (RDGs) generation power and Availability of MG Equipment. Then, to achieve unique reliable optimal solution, it uses hybrid solver of ant-lion optimizer (ALO) and crow search algorithm (CSA). Finally, by implementing of the proposed strategy on a standard MG and obtain numerical results, the capability of the scheme in improving technical and economic indices of the MG along with procuring clean and reliable energy is confirmed.
