Scheduling interconnected micro energy grids with multiple fuel options

Abstract The micro energy grid (MEG) represents a natural step in the evolution toward smart energy grids. Future power systems are expected to include interconnected MEGs combined with solar, wind, and plugin electrical vehicles. For an MEG, operational costs and emissions depend on the types of distributed energy resources (DERs) used. Using DERs with multiple fuel options can reduce the generation costs and increase the reliability of the power systems. MEGs with excessive energy generation can trade with other MEGs with power deficits for their mutual benefit. The local energy demand for each MEG can be served by its local generation and storage discharging, as well as the use of energy purchased from the main power grid and/or neighboring MEGs. This chapter provides in-depth details, methods, and practices for MEG operation by focussing on generation scheduling for interconnected MEGs with multiple fuel options.
