ENERGY SHARING AND UTILITY MAXIMIZATION ALGORITHM FOR A SMART MICROGRID NETWORK
Photovoltaic (PV) and wind turbine (WT) prosumers have been regarded as representative renewable energy resources in a smart microgrid (MG) network, producing renewable energy and meanwhile consuming energy. In this paper, the energy sharing based user satisfaction ratio utility maximization algorithm with the prioritized energy trading management is proposed in order to balance and schedule demand and supply of the energy in a smart microgrid network. Simulation results demonstrate that with these management parameters for PV combined WT prosumers, the proposed algorithm can guarantee the out performing satisfaction ratio performance in terms of consumers’ energy demand and prosumers’ energy supply.
