Power Dispatching of Multi-Microgrid Based on Improved CS Aiming at Economic Optimization on Source-Network-Load-Storage

The multi-microgrid is gradually springing up with widespread use of the distributed generation. It is of great meaning to have research on the energy mutual optimization of the multi-microgrid to improve the new energy-consumption capacity. In this paper, a comprehensive economic model of the multi-microgrid is proposed for optimizing the power dispatching, and the source-network-load-storage is taken into account. Different from other studies, the special novelty of this paper is the improved cuckoo search (CS) algorithm which is adopted to optimize the power dispatching of the multi-microgrid. Comparing with the particle swarm optimization (PSO) algorithm, the improved CS algorithm has better performance in solving the proposed model. The optimal power supply strategy is determined by predicting the optimal state of charge of the battery in the model of the multi-microgrid. The model effectiveness of the multi-microgrid is confirmed in the case study of Wangjiazhai area. With this method, the optimal power dispatching is determined.
