Economic dispatch of household PV-BS-EV microgrid under TOU tariffs

Abstract

Economic dispatch is a hotspot issue of household hybrid energy microgrid. This paper gives modellings of a typical household microgrid integrated with solar PV, battery energy storage system (BS) and electric vehicle (EV). The charging/discharging strategy of EV and its coordinated dispatch strategy with supply side units are presented to solve the minimum system operation objective under time of use (TOU) tariffs. The simulation results show that the proposed method is effective and feasible.
