The increasing number of electric vehicles (EVs) represents a huge burden on the electrical grid. EVs'' charging and discharging control through vehicle-to-grid (V2G) techniques is one of the best solutions to power problems and CO 2 emissions. This study introduces a multi-objective power scheduling of a residential microgrid that consists of

READ MOREThe optimal scheduling of microgrid clusters and the control of DC-DC converters have been conducted research in depth in the above literature. However, there is a lack of research on economic optimal scheduling and the combination between upper-layer and lower-level control under the islanded operation mode of DC microgrid clusters.
READ MOREThe economic power-dispatching model of a multi-microgrid is comprehensively established in this paper, considering many factors, such as generation cost, discharge cost, power-purchase cost, power sales revenue, and environmental cost. To construct this model, power interactions between the two microgrids and those
