摘要

摘要: 研究了预测不确定性条件下含多个微电网的能源互联网分布式协同调度策略.各微电网都拥有多种智能负荷，如功率可调负荷、可调度负荷和关键负荷；部分微电网含有分布式电源，如微型燃气轮机、风电机组、光伏发电系统等；且部分微电网还拥有储能设备，如电池储能系统.每个微电网都可当做一个独立的实体，拥有自己的运行目标，这些运行目标可表示成混合整数规划模型.提出了基于并行分布式优化的博弈模型以较小的信息通信量协调各微电网带有竞争性的运行目标.在此基础上，引入模型预测控制（MPC）机制以降低能源互联网中风、光等可再生能源输出、负荷需求及电价波动的不确定性产生的不利影响.算例证明了本文所提方法的可行性和有效性.

Abstract: This paper focuses on the development of optimization-based distributed scheduling strategies for the coordination of an energy internet (EI) with multi-microgrids with consideration of forecast uncertainties. All microgrids have flexible loads, schedulable loads and critical loads; some microgrids have distributed generators, such as micro-turbines, wind turbines, photovoltaic panels; besides, a few microgrids have energy storage devices, such as battery storage. Each microgrid is considered as an individual entity and has its individual objective, these objective functions of microgrids are formulated by mixed integer programming (MIP) models. A game theory based parallel distributed optimization algorithm is proposed to coordinate the competitive objectives of the microgrids with only a little information interaction. A model predictive control (MPC) framework which integrates the distributed optimization algorithm is developed to reduce the negative impacts introduced by the uncertainties of the EI. Simulation results show that our method is flexible and efficient.
