Title
Optimal configuration and energy management scheme of an isolated micro-grid using Cuckoo search optimization algorithm
Abstract
This paper proposes an optimization scheme for optimal configuration and energy management of the micro-grid (MG), using the Cuckoo search optimization algorithm (CSOA). The selected MG supplies a load profile located between 30.119 latitude and 31.605 longitude. The energy produced by the MG generation sources, according to meteorological data of the proposed location, is calculated using MATLAB. The objective/fitness function is modeled and designed for minimizing the total investment cost (TIC) including capital, investment, operation and maintenance costs. A novel weighted goal attainment function (WGAF) has been proposed to reduce CO2 emissions and their associated costs. Moreover, WGAF also applies higher taxes on the amount of emissions that exceed governmental approved limits. To investigate the effects of WGAF on the TIC ($/year), annual cost of energy ($/kWh), and CO2 emissions, various weighted coefficients are analyzed. The simulation results have shown that the designed optimization scheme can robustly and efficiently produce the optimal MG configuration that is both eco-friendly and generates economic benefits.
