Abstract
Microgrid systems, such as solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT), integrated with diesel generator can provide adequate energy to supply increased demands and are economically feasible for current and future use considering depletion of conventional sources. It is, thus, important to determine the appropriate sizes of PV, WT, diesel generator, and associated energy storage system (ESS) for efficient, economic, and reliable operation of electric power system in microgrid. Stochastic nature of intermittent renewable energy (RE) resources complicate their planning, integration, and operation of electric power system. Therefore, it is critical to generate typical scenarios of wind speed, irradiation, and load time series to reflect their stochastic characteristic for microgrid system planning and operation. In this study, a wind-irradiation-load typical scenarios generation method is proposed for optimal sizing RE resources of microgrid. The teaching-learning-based optimisation (TLBO) method is used to find the best configuration of the microgrid system. Simulation results show that scenarios generated by the proposed model have ability to approximate the original scenarios and reduce planning data effectively.
