Abstract
Abstract Increasing penetration of uncoordinated electric vehicles (EVs) and intermittent renewable energy generation in microgrid systems motivates us to explore an effective strategy for the safe and economic operation of such distributed generation (DG) systems. This paper presents a robust economic dispatch strategy for grid-connected microgrids. Uncertainty from wind power and EV charging loads is considered as an uncertain set of interval predictions. Considering the worst application scenario, the proposed strategy can help to schedule the EV charging behaviors and DG outputs in order to reduce operation cost under practical constraints. In addition, in order to facilitate the decision makers to make decision strategies from the perspective of economy, this paper explores the relationship between the volatility of uncertain parameters and economy based on the theory of interval forecast. Numerical case study shows the feasibility of the proposed dispatch strategy.
