Abstract:

Agricultural microgrids offer a promising solution for energy supply in remote rural areas in a low-cost manner. In this paper, under uncertain conditions of renewable energy output and electricity load demand, a robust optimal scheduling model combined with the isolated agricultural microgrid and irrigation system containing a pumped hydro storage (PHS) power station is proposed, considering the factors that the wind-landscape pumped storage integrated agricultural microgrid can satisfy the uncertain fluctuations of power load demand and water load demand. By utilizing the abundant water resources in rural areas and the advantages of landscape drainage and storage compensation, the total cost of the system is minimized while the absorption of renewable energy is increased. Considering distributed generation, power load demand and water load demand, turbine flow, and irrigation flow, the proposed model is characterized by diversity, multi-constraint, and discontinuity. A gravitational whale optimization algorithm (GWOA) is proposed to solve the model. The simulation results of an agricultural microgrid show that the GWOA can obtain a more competitive solution than the CPLEX solver and other newly developed algorithms do. In addition, the impact of the change of water load demand caused by precipitation uncertainty on the operating cost of the irrigation system and the necessity of using PHS power station are explored.
