OPTIMAL OPERATION OF MICROGRIDS USING RENEWABLE ENERGY RESOURCES

With the development of distributed generation resources and the increase of energy generation technologies, the operation of power systems faced with new complexities. Due to the development of smart grids and the use of renewable energy resources, a suitable method for the optimal use of these resources is of great importance. International organizations and institutions are trying to develop appropriate encouraging methods based on the agreements, but these methods have been developed in traditional environments and are not precise and codified procedures in electrical smart grids. Established microgrids of the distribution companies that are managed locally should also be able to take advantage of these laws. A classification of different issues of a microgrid provides an appropriate method for optimal control of energy resources in this paper. A dayahead market is intended as an appropriate market and the operation planning for a power distribution network is performed.
