As microgrids have advanced from early prototypes to relatively mature technologies, converting data center integrated commercial buildings to microgrids provides economic, reliability and resiliency enhancements for the building owners. Thus, microgrid design and economically sizing distributed energy resources (DER) are becoming more demanding to gain widespread microgrids commercial viability. In this paper, an optimal DER sizing formulation for a hybrid AC/DC microgrid configuration has been proposed to leverage all benefits that AC or DC microgrid could solely contribute. Energy storage (ES), photovoltaics (PV) and power electronics devices are coordinately sized for economic grid-connected and reliable islanded operations. Time-of-use (TOU) energy usages charges and peak demand charges are explicitly modeled to achieve maximum level of cost savings. Numerical results obtained from a real commercial building load demonstrate the benefits of the proposed approach and the importance of jointly sizing DER for the grid-connected and islanded modes.

It is likely that electricity storage will play a significant role in the balancing of future energy systems. A major challenge is then that of how to assess the contribution of storage to capacity adequacy, i.e. to the ability of such systems to mee
t demand. This requires an understanding of how to optimally schedule multiple storage facilities. The present paper studies this problem in the cases where the objective is the minimisation of expected energy unserved (EEU) and also a form of weighted EEU in which the unit cost of unserved energy is higher at higher levels of unmet demand. We also study how the contributions of individual stores may be identified for the purposes of their inclusion in electricity capacity markets.
This work considers energy management in a grid-connected microgrid which consists of multiple conventional generators (CGs), renewable generators (RGs) and energy storage systems (ESSs). A two-stage optimization approach is presented to schedule the
power generation, aimed at minimizing the long-term average operating cost subject to operational and service constraints. The first stage of optimization determines hourly unit commitment of the CGs via a day-ahead scheduling, and the second stage performs economic dispatch of the CGs, ESSs and energy trading via an hour-ahead scheduling. The combined solution meets the need of handling large uncertainties in the load demand and renewable generation, and provides an efficient solution under limited computational resource which meets both short-term and long-term quality-of-service requirements. The performance of the proposed strategy is evaluated by simulations based on real load demand and renewable generation data.
Distributed energy resources (DERs) can serve as non-wire alternatives (NWAs) to capacity expansion by managing peak load to avoid or delay traditional expansion projects. However, the value stream derived from using DERs as NWAs is usually not expli
citly included in DER planning problems. In this paper, we study a planning problem that co-optimizes investment and operation of DERs and the timing of capacity expansion. By including the timing of capacity expansion as a decision variable, we naturally incorporate NWA value stream of DERs into the planning problem. Furthermore, we show that even though the resulting optimization problem could have millions of variables and is non-convex, an optimal solution can be found by solving a series of smaller linear problems. Finally, we present a NWAs planning problem using real data from the Seattle Campus of the University of Washington.
We consider the problem of dispatching a fleet of heterogeneous energy storage units to provide grid support. Under the restriction that recharging is not possible during the time frame of interest, we develop an aggregate measure of fleet flexibilit
y with an intuitive graphical interpretation. This analytical expression summarises the full set of demand traces that the fleet can satisfy, and can be used for immediate and straightforward determination of the feasibility of any service request. This representation therefore facilitates a wide range of capability assessments, such as flexibility comparisons between fleets or the determination of a fleets ability to deliver ancillary services. Examples are shown of applications to fleet flexibility comparisons, signal feasibility assessment and the optimisation of ancillary service provision.
This paper presents a distributed optimization algorithm tailored for solving optimal control problems arising in multi-building coordination. The buildings coordinated by a grid operator, join a demand response program to balance the voltage surge b
y using an energy cost defined criterion. In order to model the hierarchical structure of the building network, we formulate a distributed convex optimization problem with separable objectives and coupled affine equality constraints. A variant of the Augmented Lagrangian based Alternating Direction Inexact Newton (ALADIN) method for solving the considered class of problems is then presented along with a convergence guarantee. To illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed method, we compare it to the Alternating Direction Method of Multipliers (ADMM) by running both an ALADIN and an ADMM based model predictive controller on a benchmark case study.
