Multi-objective Optimization of Microgrid Frequency and Energy Storage Capacity

Microgrids are systems to integrate renewable and conventional distributed energy resources under one control system. These elements are responsible for microgrid stability during and after occurrence of disturbances. The frequency stability is one of the most important issues investigated recently, specifically during islanding process. In this paper, a multi-objective function is presented and optimized by Imperialistic Competitive Algorithm to improve the frequency behaviour of the microgrid considering the energy storage capacity.
