Cooperative energy management of renewable agricultural power system integrating demand response and multi-energy hub

This paper presents an economical energy framework for rural electrification through agricultural microgrids. It delves into the synergistic energy management, harnessing demand response and a multi-energy hub to satisfy the multifaceted energy requirements of agriculture. With an emphasis on mitigating risks, the study introduces metrics for Expected Power Not Served (EPNS) and Expected Power Curtailment (EPC), providing a quantitative assessment of wind power variability. Advancing this, a probabilistic day-ahead operational model is formulated to streamline the interplay between a wind-integrated pumped storage system and agricultural water management. The overarching goal is operational cost minimization coupled with load peak mitigation, leveraging the pumped storage system’s potential. The model’s efficacy is underscored by its ability to optimize energy distribution, curtail costs, and even out the demand curve, as evidenced by simulations surpassing current methodologies.
