Coordinated optimal allocation of park microgrids based on linear programming

Problem and implemented solution

This study proposes a set of comprehensive solutions to the economic and operational efficiency problems faced by park microgrids in new energy transformation. First, we recognise that park microgrids, as a key area of electricity distribution reform, have an energy mix dominated by wind power generation, but the mismatch between supply and demand timings needs to be addressed urgently. To this end, we propose to optimise energy use by deploying an energy storage system. The solution is carried out in three steps: 1. Economy element model construction and sensitivity analysis: for individual park microgrids, we constructed an economy element model with power supply cost as the dependent variable, and conducted sensitivity testing through regression analysis. We selected key indicators such as load characteristics, constructed an integrated microgrid operation model including 50kW/100kWh energy storage devices, and conducted economic comparative analysis with the traditional model. 2. Joint Park Economic Optimisation: Extending to the joint park, we repeated the construction and analysis process of the above economic elements, and further explored the operation mode after configuring the same energy storage device in the joint park, and conducted an economic comparison with the traditional mode, in order to find out the effect of scale effect on the cost. 3. Multi-objective linear programming model solution: In Problem 3, we introduced a more complex multi-objective linear programming model, which considered the wind and solar power generation data and time-sharing tariff strategy for 12 months of the year. Solved optimally using MATLAB's fmincon function, the strategy allows energy storage to store energy in the tariff troughs and release it in the peaks for cost minimisation. We identify the joint park load and the average cost of supply per unit of electricity as the key elements that affect the economics. In terms of model optimisation, it is proposed to find a balance between complexity and prediction error by tuning parameters, cross-validation and applying other machine learning models. Through model testing, we obtain a goodness-of-fit R² of 0.955, which shows that the model has high accuracy and reliability. This provides strong decision support for the planning and operation of microgrids in the park. This solution integrates data analysis, mathematical modelling and computer simulation, aiming to provide scientific guidance for the economy and sustainability of park microgrids.
