Implications for Microgrid Management: The study underscores the need for integrated strategies that balance economic incentives with sustainability goals. The findings suggest that adjustments to optimization criteria or regulatory measures may be necessary to align private microgrid operations with broader environmental objectives.
Enhancing the efficiency of an existing microgrid requires an optimal operation strategy, which includes energy management, unit commitment, economic dispatch, and optimal power flow [, , ].
In this section, microgrid operation, including integrated control of these systems, is examined through two approaches. Condition-based operation relies on predefined rules invoked hourly to determine optimal solutions. Optimization establishes the day's operational plan in advance, exploring scenarios for the most cost-effective solution.
Optimization of the microgrid operation The optimization goal is to minimize costs and emissions in microgrid operation, emphasizing efficient dispatchable unit use, specifically the MGT and electrolyzer. The study spans a week, optimizing each hour daily.
