Abstract

This paper presents application of a differential search (DS) meta-heuristic optimization algorithm for optimal operation of a micro grid system. The DS algorithm simulates the Brownian-like random-walk movement used by an organism to migrate. The micro grid system consists of a wind turbine, a diesel generator, a fuel cell, and a photovoltaic system. The wind turbine generator is modeled by considering the characteristics of variable output. Optimization is aimed at minimizing the cost function of the system, including fuel costs and maximizing fuel efficiency to generate electric power. The simulation was applied to a micro grid system only. This study applies the DS algorithm with excellence and efficiency in terms of coding simplicity, fast convergence speed, and accuracy in the optimal operation of micro grids based on renewable energy resources, and we compared its optimum value to other algorithms to prove its superiority.

본 논문은 마이크로 그리드 최적 운영을 위해 Differential Search (DS) 알고리즘을 적용하였다. DS 알고리즘은 이주하는 생물의 유사 브라운 운동 형태의 임의보행 (random-walk)을 모의하여 개발된 알고리즘이다. DS 알고리즘은 다른 최적화 알고리즘과 달리 한 개 이상의 개체를 동시에 사용 할 수 있고, 유사 최적해중에서 전역 최적 해를 선별하는 직진성 특성으로 multi-modal 함수들의 해법을 위한 성공적인 탐색 전력을 지니고 있으며, 높은 비선형성과 불연속성을 갖는 전력계통의 다른 분야에도 효율적으로 적용될 수 있다. 마이크로 그리드 시스템은 풍력 발전기, 디젤발전기, 연로전지 및 태양광 발전기로 구성된다. 풍력 발전기는 가변 출력특성을 이용하여 모델링 하였다. 연료비용과 연료가 전력으로 변환되는 경우의 효율을 포함시켜 시스템의 비용을 최소화 하였으며, 마이크로 그리드 단독 운용에 관해서만 분석하였다. 본 연구는 신재생 에너지원 기반의 마이크로 그리드의 최적 운영에 대해 코딩의 단순성, 빠른 수렴 속도, 정확성 및 효율성을 갖춘 DS 알고리즘을 적용하여 다른 알고리즘의 최적 값과 비교하였다.
