Abstract

The microgrids are composed of small scale fueled generation capacities, renewable energy sources, storage energy systems, controllable loads, and autonomously can connect or disconnect from the mains supply. The microgrids can operate connected to the upstream main grid, or in an islanded operation mode following a large perturbation in the upstream grid. The microgrid analyzed in this paper is composed of a photovoltaic system, a thermal engine, an electrochemical storage system, critical and interruptible loads. As backup generation is considered a classical generation engine and a small scale storage unit. The autonomous switching between grid-connected and islanding operation modes can occur, under an excess/deficit of generation and function of the electricity market price. The paper deals with an optimization model for minimizing the microgrid operation costs under intermittent generation and variable demand function of microgrid operation constrains. The optimization model is tested on a 24 hours horizon. The gridconnected optimized operation accounts also the exchanged power with the upstream grid function of the electricity price within the public network.
