Abstract
A dynamical power demand and stochastic nature of energy resources posses difficulties in controlling and managing output power. These challenges lead to instability and inconsistency of the entire operation which can cause unstable and power quality issues. This study presents an optimal schedule controller for microgrid energy management, utilizing the Binary Particle Swarm algorithm (BPSO) to minimize costs and ensure optimal power delivery to loads. The controller's aims include minimizing total operating costs for distributed energy resources and solving intricate constraint optimization issues with scheduling management operations. The proposed approach's effectiveness is evaluated within an IEEE 14-bus configuration with five microgrids (MGs) integrated with RESs using real load data from Perlis, Malaysia. The BPSO optimization technique offers an exceptional binary fitness function to find the optimal cell, utilizing real data such as solar radiation, wind speed, battery charging/discharging, fuel conditions, and demand. To confirm the efficiency of the developed controller, a comparison is conducted between the results achieved with and without microgrid (MG) integration. The results reveal the robustness of the BPSO algorithm in reducing energy consumption and cost by 199.6 MW to 316.53 MW and RM 87,250.35 to RM 138,327.5 respectively. As a result, an optimized scheduling controller-based BPSO optimization outperforms in terms of savings cost, reduced energy consumption, optimal DER use, and decreased CO2 emissions. � 2023 IEEE.
