Abstract

This paper proposes a novel microgrid scheduling model considering the resiliency requirements. The resiliency of the microgrid is guaranteed by quickly adjusting the output of committed local resources to supply the local demands continuously when the supply of power from the main grid is interrupted. To capture the prevailing uncertainties in renewable generation and demand, a two-stage robust optimization model is formulated to minimize the total operating cost under the worst realization of the modeled uncertainties. The column and constraint generation (CCG) method is used to solve the problem in an iterative manner. The solution of the proposed robust scheduling model guarantees the resiliency of the microgrid by supporting a quick islanding without consumer interruption and ensures the robustness against uncertainties in renewable generation and demand.
