We consider the economic dispatch (ED) for an Energy Internet composed of energy routers (ERs), interconnected microgrids and main grid. The microgrid consists of several bus nodes associated with distributed generators (DGs) and…
With the rising adoption of distributed energy resources (DERs), microgrid dispatch is facing new challenges: DER owners are independent stakeholders seeking to maximize their individual profits rather than being controlled centrally; and…
The economic dispatch of wind power units is quite different from that in conventional thermal units, since the adopted model should take into consideration the intermittency nature of wind speed as well. Therefore, this paper uses a model…
