Long short-term memory-based forecasting of uncertain parameters in an islanded hybrid microgrid and its energy management using improved grey wolf optimization algorithm Issue 16, 2024

Optimal energy management of an islanded hybrid microgrid is performed by optimally scheduling the power from the storage device and the distributed generators based on their availability, bidding cost and the load demand. A deep learning algorithm say, long short-term memory (LSTM) is used to predict the uncertain parameters such as the day-ahead power from the renewable energy sources and the load demand of the islanded hybrid AC–DC microgrid. LSTM algorithm is more accurate in predicting uncertainties than artificial neural network in terms of the performance evaluation metrics. The predicted uncertain parameters are used as inputs for the optimal energy management problem and an improved grey wolf optimization (GWO) algorithm is used to solve the problem. Two different cases are considered and the results obtained with improved GWO (IGWO) algorithm is compared with other metaheuristic algorithms such as artificial bee colony, ant lion optimization, Harris Hawk's optimization, particle swarm optimization and grey wolf optimization algorithms.

Evaluation of green development of energy consumption in the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration based on radial basis function neural network Issue 16, 2024

Energy consumption is an important component of the high-quality development and the establishment of new productive forces in the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration, which has led to widespread attention to the evaluation of green development. Constructing a secondary indicator system based on economic development, social security, energy utilization, and ecological environment, this study takes the nine cities in the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration as samples and uses relevant data from 2005 to 2020 as the basis. A comprehensive evaluation model of urban agglomeration's green development of energy consumption based on radial basis function neural network is proposed and simulated using MATLAB software for quantitative measurement. The results are as follows: First, from 2005 to 2020, the green development level of the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration steadily increased, with the average green development level increasing from 0.516 to 0.701, but there are significant differences among different cities. Second, the coupling coordination degree of central cities generally increased, while other cities were in a low-level coupling coordination stage. Third, the spatial evolution of green development in urban agglomerations is progressive, showing a distribution feature of “low in the middle and high around”. Fourth, per capita GDP, R&D expenditure, the proportion of the tertiary industry output value, and the area of arable land at the end of the year are common major obstacles to green development in urban agglomerations and internal urban circles, while the remaining major obstacles have certain differences. This study, focusing on energy consumption and green development issues, provides decision support for policy formulation and implementation in various aspects such as promoting high-quality development and the establishment of new productive forces, improving energy utilization efficiency, accelerating the transformation of traditional industries, and fostering green industries in the Pearl River Delta urban agglomeration.

Power allocation optimization strategy for multiple virtual power plants with diversified distributed flexibility resources Issue 16, 2024

The virtual power plant integrating the flexible resources in the distribution network can provide additional adjustment capacity for the auxiliary services of distribution network. However, the actual internal situation of distribution network including insufficient adjustable capacity of energy storage, unreasonable power allocation, and voltage overrun leads to the difficulties in optimization scheduling. Therefore, this paper proposes a power allocation optimization strategy of distributed electricity-H2 virtual power plants (EHVPPs) with aggregated flexible resources. Specifically, a distributed EHVPP division method based on the granular K-medoids clustering algorithm is proposed to realize the independent autonomy and coordinated interaction between EHVPPs, and in order to quantify the operation and regulation capacity of distributed EHVPPs, an aggregation approach of regulating feasible domains of flexibility resources based on the improved zonotope approximations is developed. Moreover, a power allocation strategy based on the flexibility weight factor is proposed to handle the calculated minimum deviation between the total active output of PV and the dispatching power command, realizing the self-consistency of distributed EHVPPs.

A techno-enviro-economic multi-objective framework for optimal sizing of a biomass/diesel generator-driven hybrid energy system Issue 16, 2024

As the first contribution, size optimization of a biomass-based HES combined with PV and diesel generator is investigated in a multi-objective manner considering techno-economic and techno-enviro-economic frameworks. To the best knowledge of the authors, in the literature, there are few investigations which focus on multi-objective optimization of biomass/diesel generator-driven HES subject to technical, environmental and economic aspects.

A sensitivity analysis is investigated to find the importance of biomass and diesel fuels cost on the different aspects of the HES.

An MPPT method using phasor particle swarm optimization for PV-based generation system under varying irradiance conditions Issue 16, 2024

The metaheuristic algorithms are used nowadays eliminating the possibility of getting trapped at the local optima. However, particle swarm optimization (PSO) suffers from delayed convergence, more iterations to reach the optimal point, and random parameter selection. Hence, this study employs an improved version of PSO called Phasor-PSO (P-PSO) in an MPPT controller. The proposed algorithm is parameter-less which results in reduced computational complexity and thus provides quick decision in achieving the maximum power point (MPP).
