Expected value model of microgrid economic dispatching considering wind power uncertainty

New energy microgrid is one of the development trends of the future power grid. As there are wind turbines and other new energy equipment in the microgrid, its output is easily affected by unstable weather factors. Moreover, the complexity of dispatching caused by the storage battery in the microgrid and the non-linear factors of the diesel generator have brought great challenges to the economic dispatching of the microgrid. To tackle these problems, this paper establishes the expected value model of microgrid economic dispatching considering the uncertainty of wind power generation and the factors such as battery and diesel generator and proves that this expected value model is convex. On this basis, the piecewise linearization method is proposed to find the global optimal solution of the economic dispatch. Finally, a representative microgrid is optimized to verify the effectiveness of expected value model. (c) 2023 The Authors. Published by Elsevier Ltd.
