    Optimal planning of a multi-carrier microgrid (MCMG) considering demand-side management

    , Article International Journal of Renewable Energy Research ; Volume 8, Issue 1 , 2018 , Pages 238-249 ; 13090127 (ISSN) Amir, V ; Jadid, S ; Ehsan, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    The multi-carrier microgrid (MCMG) is a restricted district comprising convertors and energy storage systems (ESSs) that are used to fulfill various energy demands. The structure and optimal operation of these MCMGs with regard to fulfilling multi-carrier demands are presented in relation to their rapid spread. In this paper, a two-stage optimum planning and design method for an MCMG is presented in the planning horizon. The investment and operation (fuel and maintenance) costs are considered concurrently to find the optimal type and size of components over the planning horizon. At the first stage, the genetic algorithm (GA) is applied to determine the optimal type and size of components,... 

    Probabilistic optimal power dispatch in multi-carrier networked microgrids under uncertainties

    , Article Energies ; Volume 10, Issue 11 , 2017 ; 19961073 (ISSN) Amir, V ; Jadid, S ; Ehsan, M ; Sharif University of Technology
    Abstract
    A microgrid (MG) is a small-scale version of the power system which makes possible the integration of renewable resources as well as achieving maximum demand side management (DSM) utilization. The future power system will be faced with severe uncertainties owing to penetration of renewable resources. Consequently, the uncertainty assessment of system performance is essential. The conventional energy scheduling in an MG may not be suitable for active distribution networks. Hence, this study focuses on the probabilistic analysis of optimal power dispatch considering economic aspects in a multi-carrier networked microgrid. The aim is to study the impact of uncertain behavior of loads, renewable... 

    Operation of networked multi-carrier microgrid considering demand response

    , Article COMPEL - The International Journal for Computation and Mathematics in Electrical and Electronic Engineering ; Volume 38, Issue 2 , 2019 , Pages 724-744 ; 03321649 (ISSN) Amir, V ; Jadid, S ; Ehsan, M ; Sharif University of Technology

    Abstract
    Purpose: Microgrids are inclined to use renewable energy resources within the availability limits. In conventional studies, energy interchange among microgrids was not considered because of one-directional power flows. Hence, this paper aims to study the optimal day-ahead energy scheduling of a centralized networked multi-carrier microgrid (NMCMG). The energy scheduling faces new challenges by inclusion of responsive loads, integration of renewable sources (wind and solar) and interaction of multi-carrier microgrids (MCMGs). Design/methodology/approach: The optimization model is formulated as a mixed integer nonlinear programing and is solved using GAMS software. Numerical simulations are...
