Abstract

This paper presents a procedure for the optimal economic scheduling of energy in community microgrids (CMGs) in the presence of renewable energy resources and energy storage systems. The proposed energy management system minimizes the daily operating cost of a CMG, maximizes the self-consumption of the RES, and maximize the BESS lifetime, by determining the best setting for a central battery energy storage system based on a defined cost function. The cost function of each microgrid (MG) acting as a single system is further improved through a peer to peer operating mode in which any extra energy is shared with other MGs in the community rather than being exported to the main electricity grid. The results obtained demonstrate that participation in the energy management scheme within the CMG provides greater economic benefits for the MG's customers.
