The renewable energy power and load power in a microgrid both have uncertainty characteristics
the effects of which are worth careful consideration in the optimal economic dispatching of the microgrid. In order to characterize these uncertainties in the microgrid
the randomness of the wind speed and light intensity is described by the interval
and combined with the interval description of load uncertainty
a microgrid economical optimization model based on interval linear programming (ILP) is proposed. Then by referring to the time-of-use pricing
the issue of power exchange with an external grid is considered. The CPLEX optimization software combined with the C++ programming is applied to the above issue. Finally
with the influence analysis of energy storage on the economical operation of the system as an example
the impact of uncertainty of renewable energy power and load power on the optimization result is discussed. The results have verified the robustness of the proposed method and model
and shown their effectiveness in dealing with uncertainty optimization.
