Abstract

Self-sufficient energy systems such as isolated microgrid have been used in rural areas to generate electrical energy. This study aims to investigate the impact of controllable loads on the optimal capacity configuration for an isolated microgrid formed from renewable resources and a hybrid energy storage system (HESS), which contains battery and supercapacitor. To find the optimal design of the proposed system, a mathematical model for minimizing life cycle cost (LCC) is proposed for a given level of reliability. In particular, the total life cycle cost is minimized while keeping the reliability index defined as loss of power supply probability (LPSP), within the required limits in addition to the other constraints. The simulation results for the system are analyzed by considering the different levels of LPSP. The analysis shows that the availability of controllable loads affects the life cycle cost of the isolated microgrid system positively.
