Optimal Microgrid Operation Considering Auto Configuration in Islanded Mode

In this paper, a novel algorithm is proposed for optimal operation of microgrids considering the occurrence of faults or recovery from faults, auto-configuration. The objective of the proposed algorithm is to minimize the operation of the microgrid while ensuring stability. The auto configuration is defined as the capability of the system to update the status of all components and reschedule healthy components, whenever a fault occurs or the system recovers from a fault. Additionally, an energy management system (EMS) is developed in accordance with the proposed algorithm to maintain the system frequency and operate the system in a cost-effective way.
