Microgrid Control and Optimization

As more battery electric vehicles and plug-in hybrid electric vehicles are connected to the microgrid, plug-in electric vehicles have a major impact on the microgrid. This paper proposes a multi-objective optimization energy management model including plug-in electric vehicles and other distributed generations. By analyzing the powertrain structure of different kinds of plug-in electric vehicles, the engine fuel consumption model, the charging model, the discharge model, and the battery state of charge model of plug-in electric vehicle in microgrids are given. The proposed model considers the plug-in electric vehicle battery state of charge constraints to prevent the battery from overcharging and over-discharging and gives the state of charge curve in microgrids. Simultaneously, an improved gray wolf algorithm, introducing optimization control factors and greedy strategies to better balance the mining and exploration capabilities of the gray wolf algorithm, is proposed to solve this multi-objective optimization energy management model. Compared with particle swarm optimization and traditional gray wolf algorithm, the improved algorithm further improves the accuracy and convergence speed. Besides, the improved algorithm is applied to three scheduling schemes, and the results show that plug-in hybrid electric vehicles have more advantages in energy economy in some special cases.
