Abstract

The optimal energy management system (EMS) of individual and networked residential microgrids and multi-energy microgrids (MEMGs) has received a great deal of attention. Several solutions have been studied to mitigate voltage limit violations due to the increasing penetration level of distributed generation resources (DGRs) and other issues. However, a research gap exists in developing a voltage control-oriented EMS for networked MEMGs (NMEMGs) to overcome the under/over voltage concerns. This paper aims to respond to this research gap by proposing a new voltage control-oriented EMS instead of conventional solutions, e.g., on-load tap changers (OLTCs) and limiting/curtailing output power of DGRs. The simultaneous management of the electrical and thermal supply/demand sides empowers the proposed method from the viewpoint of cost reduction and satisfaction of voltage constraints. Another contribution of this research is using the concept of sensitivity matrix information to calculate/control the voltage of NMEMGs, which is adequately fast and accurate. The voltage control of NMEMGs based on the flexibility of controllable residential thermal/electrical loads and appliances is one of the major advantages of this study. Moreover, the emission costs are considered in the proposed framework. The comparative test results illustrate that significant voltage constraint violations appear if the voltage limits are not considered. On the other hand, obtained results show that less than a 12% increase in the operation cost of some MGs/MEMGs has appeared due to additional constraints of the introduced voltage control-oriented EMS, while all voltage constraints are satisfied.
