Abstract:

Microgrids have shown great potential in improving the resilience of power supply and reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. The interconnection of island microgrids into a multi-area multi-microgrids (MMGs) system will help improve the economy and power supply resilience of microgrids. Aiming at the expansion planning problem for MMGs, a long-term expansion planning framework is proposed with the goal of minimizing the total cost of the MMGs while taking power supply resilience and environmental benefits as constraints. The energy sharing between adjacent microgrids is also considered. Based on the real data, a MMGs system containing three microgrids is constructed as a case study to demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed model. The dynamic and stochastic optimization problem is solved by deep reinforcement learning algorithm. The results show that the planning framework for MMGs can improve the resilience of the microgrid power supply and reduce GHG emissions. The proposed framework also considers the impact of the interconnection structure of MMGs and appropriately adjusts strategies based on the frequency of outages and outage losses of individual microgrid. This research has important practical significance for the expansion planning of MMGs.
