Capacity Optimization of Offshore Microgrids Considering Uncertainty and Conditional Risk

The high-penetration integration of offshore renewable energy introduces significant challenges, including high volatility, randomness, and insufficient energy accommodation, which place higher demands on the planning and operation of offshore integrated energy systems. To address these issues, this paper proposes an offshore multi-energy coupled DC microgrid system integrating wind, photovoltaic, tidal current, and wave energy, together with flexible loads such as seawater desalination and power-to-hydrogen. A hybrid forecasting model based on EMD-PCA-LSTM is developed to improve prediction accuracy under uncertain conditions. On this basis, a two-stage optimization framework considering both economic efficiency and operational risk is established. At the planning level, a joint operation–planning model incorporating Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) is formulated to determine the optimal capacity configuration by minimizing the total annualized cost and risk cost. At the operational level, a multi-time-scale rolling optimization model is constructed to enhance system adaptability under renewable fluctuations. Case study results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves renewable energy accommodation, reduces the curtailment rate to 0.7%, and effectively balances economic performance and operational stability. The proposed framework provides a practical and efficient approach for capacity allocation and optimal operation of offshore multi-energy coupled systems.

Abstract

The high-penetration integration of offshore renewable energy introduces significant challenges, including high volatility, randomness, and insufficient energy accommodation, which place higher demands on the planning and operation of offshore integrated energy systems. To address these issues, this paper proposes an offshore multi-energy coupled DC microgrid system integrating wind, photovoltaic, tidal current, and wave energy, together with flexible loads such as seawater desalination and power-to-hydrogen. A hybrid forecasting model based on EMD-PCA-LSTM is developed to improve prediction accuracy under uncertain conditions. On this basis, a two-stage optimization framework considering both economic efficiency and operational risk is established. At the planning level, a joint operation–planning model incorporating Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) is formulated to determine the optimal capacity configuration by minimizing the total annualized cost and risk cost. At the operational level, a multi-time-scale rolling optimization model is constructed to enhance system adaptability under renewable fluctuations. Case study results demonstrate that the proposed method significantly improves renewable energy accommodation, reduces the curtailment rate to 0.7%, and effectively balances economic performance and operational stability. The proposed framework provides a practical and efficient approach for capacity allocation and optimal operation of offshore multi-energy coupled systems.
