[Anonymous]

Summary: In this paper, a coalitional game theoretic energy transaction algorithm for networked microgrids is developed to improve energy exchange efficiency. The algorithm guides the order of transactions in a coalition and allocates coalition utility fairly using the Shapley value. Additionally, a modified coalition formation algorithm is designed to ensure a stable partition on the network, reducing costs and facilitating energy transactions.

Developing Hybrid Demand Response Technique for Energy Management in Microgrid Based on Pelican Optimization Algorithm

Nehmedo Alamir et al.

Summary: This paper proposes a new application of Pelican Optimization Algorithm (POA) for optimal Energy Management (EM) in Microgrid (MG) considering Demand Response program (DRP). It formulates a multi-objective optimization to maximize the MG operator (MGO) benefit and reduce the overall operating cost. A Hybrid DRP is proposed to achieve optimal MG operation by using Incentive-based Demand response (IDR) to reduce the peak load and ensure MG reliability. The proposed technique shows a total reduction in peak hours' load of about 14.6% to 7.6% in two test systems, indicating the superiority of the POA in solving the EM problem.

Fast Stochastic Dual Dynamic Programming for Economic Dispatch in Distribution Systems

Yu Lan et al.

Summary: The multistage economic dispatch solution is crucial for achieving optimal unit commitment and decentralized decision-making in smart grid operations. The stochastic dual dynamic programming (SDDP) has been effective in solving the multistage stochastic programming (SP) problem, but lacks a guarantee of finite termination. To address this, we propose a fast stochastic dual dynamic programming (FSDDP) method that accelerates convergence rate by updating candidate points based on the maximum difference between upper and lower bounds of optimal value functions, adding a backward-forward-backward inner scheme, and initializing bounds with finite constant values. Numerical tests on various distribution systems demonstrate that FSDDP can significantly improve computational efficiency while approaching optimal economic performance.
