Energy Scheduling for Island Microgrid Applications

Abstract

The paper considers the calculation of an effective energy schedule in an islanded microgrid. GridLab-D open source simulation tool is used for simulation of microgrid elements. Matlab environment is used to run an optimization solver. The product GridMat is used as an interface tool between Matlab and GridLab-D. An economic scheduling optimization problem for the considered microgrid is formulated and solved. Analysis of the obtained results is presented.
