description |
Management strategies of complex energy systems composed by different technologies is mandatory to exploit optimally the characteristics of each power generator, to reduce the cost of energy, the impact of greenhouse gases emissions and to increase the penetration of mini- and micro-grids into energy systems. To this purpose, optimization methods and algorithms have to be developed to assess the unit commitment of generators and to suggest decision variables in the definition of the emission costs. In this paper, a novel Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) optimization algorithm has been developed to compute the optimal management of a micro-energy grid composed either by four Internal Combustion Generators (ICGs), or three ICGs and a Micro Gas Turbine (MGT). The algorithm optimizes a multi objective function that takes in consideration the total cost, the NOxand the CO2 emissions of the system, while setting some technological constraints, like start-ups and transients that are typically neglected. Moreover, different fuelling of the devices is evaluated. The model proved the importance of including an accurate model of the greenhouse gases emissions as they can significantly affect the optimization results. Furthermore, it proved to be very flexible and to be a proper basis to be adopted in more complex systems embedding energy storage devices and renewable energy systems. |
