Abstract
- This paper aims to percolate energy management of microgrid systems by minimizing the generation cost of the same. Energy management of microgrid refers to the optimal sizing and scheduling of the distributed energy resources to reduce the generation cost and pollutant emission. A recently developed crow search algorithm (CSA) is implemented to execute the optimization. The proposed CSA imitates the crows' memory and tactics of hiding and chasing their food. Six renewable integrated microgrid test systems and a total of eighteen different cases are considered for this study. Various practical complexities such as valve point loading effect, combined economic–emission dispatch using price penalty factor method, modeling of the renewable energy sources and energy storage systems are taken into consideration for energy management of the microgrid systems. Results obtained are then compared to a number of different soft computing techniques such as genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization and the likes to justify the effectiveness of the proposed algorithm. A statistical analysis, viz. Wilcoxon signed-rank test, is performed to prove the superiority of the proposed approach over the various other optimization techniques used in the paper.
