Load control mechanism for operation of microgrids in contingency state

This paper proposes a load control module based on the consumers' vulnerability indices to improve the ability of radial microgrid (MG) to deal with line contingencies. This consumer switching module (CSM) increases the operational flexibility and is suitable for the radial MGs, where, a sudden...

Description
Summary:This paper proposes a load control module based on the consumers' vulnerability indices to improve the ability of radial microgrid (MG) to deal with line contingencies. This consumer switching module (CSM) increases the operational flexibility and is suitable for the radial MGs, where, a sudden line outage restricts access to the energy resources and deviates the system frequency in the created island. To cope with this condition, CSM can instantly disconnect some of the loads and reconnects them in an appropriate time sequence, considering loads' vulnerabilities. To include the CSM in the short-term operation of MG, with the lowest complexity, a simple four-stage structure is used. At first, the capability of CSM is determined in different islands related to potential line events. Then, the approximate cost function of CSM is applied to the short-term MG operation which is hour-ahead scheduling (HAS) including both the normal and the contingency state operation. Eventually, the determined optimal CSM participation level in each island is allocated to the consumers based on their exact offered price to calculate the load switching sequence. To evaluate the performance of the proposed scheduling manner, the 13-bus and 123-bus IEEE test systems are precisely analyzed considering different simulation scenarios.
