Short-Term Optimal Dispatch of Independent Community Microgrid Based on Multi-Agent Approach

In this paper, a short-term optimal dispatch method based on multi-agent systems is proposed for the independent community microgrid that contains wind power, photovoltaic power generation, diesel generators, energy storage devices and load. In order to update the result of day-ahead dispatch and minimize the usage of diesel generations, concrete dispatch strategies are made according to the result of the day-ahead dispatch and current state of energy storage devices. The compensation should be classified when considering load-side management. An optimal model of load-shedding distribution is established to minimize power outage loss of users. Finally, an independent community microgrid example is given to verify the validity of the short-term optimal dispatch proposed in this paper.
