In this paper, we propose a novel resilience-oriented energy and load management framework for island microgrids, integrating a multi-objective optimization function that explicitly minimizes load curtailment, energy losses, voltage deviations, emissions, and energy procurement costs while maximizing the utilization of renewable energy sources.
The proposed microgrid. Distributed generation (DG) resources powered by fossil fuels are strategically placed at buses 9, 18, and 30. Energy storage systems, essential for managing fluctuations in energy supply and demand, are situated at buses 6, 14, 21, 26, and 32, which also host solar energy installations.
The improvements in voltage stability, energy losses, and emissions reduction result from a well-balanced optimization of energy resources and network management strategies. These results validate the robustness of the approach in achieving sustainable and efficient microgrid operations under varying conditions.
In ref 17, the trade-off between resilience and cost in island microgrids is investigated. This work introduces specialized models for evaluating resilience and cost within these microgrids. The study emphasizes the importance of redundancy in generative sources for enhanced resilience at a comparable cost level.
