Economic scheduling and dispatching of distributed generators considering uncertainties in modified 33-bus and modified 69-bus system under different microgrid regions

This paper presents a comprehensive framework for the economic scheduling and dispatching of Distributed Generators (DGs) in modified 33-bus and 69-bus systems across multi-microgrid regions. The framework introduces two key techniques: a novel dispatch strategy for optimizing the charging and discharging of Electric Vehicle (EV) batteries, and a robust power dispatch method for islanded distribution systems. The EV dispatch strategy uses a multi-criteria decision analysis method, Probabilistic Elimination and Choice Expressing Reality (p-ELECTRE), to maximize profits for EV owners while meeting power system requirements. This strategy is tested on fleets of 100 and 200 EVs with random travel plans within the modified 33-bus and 69-bus systems, and employs the BAT Optimization Algorithm (BOA) for optimal power dispatch. The second technique addresses the power dispatch in islanded systems by sectionalizing them into self-supplied microgrids, aiming to minimize operational costs, system losses, and voltage deviation using the Jaya algorithm. Additionally, a multi-objective cost-effective emission dispatch is evaluated using Whale Optimization Algorithm (WOA), showing superior performance over Differential Evolution (DE), Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO), and Grey Wolf Optimization (GWO). Comparative analysis highlights the scalability and adaptability of the proposed approach, making it a valuable tool for efficient microgrid management. Simulation results confirm significant improvements in cost savings, system reliability, and operational efficiency under various uncertainty scenarios.
