Waste-Free Energy Management in an Islanded Microgrid with Hydrogen Storage

This paper addresses the challenges associated with modeling storage systems and characteristics of hydrogen in the planning of island microgrids powered solely by renewable generation. We propose a novel Mixed-Integer Linear Programming (MILP) formulation that accounts for the non-constant efficiency of hydrogen chain storage, aiming to minimize error between Energy Management System (EMS) control and grid performance. Furthermore, our formulation incorporates flexible constraints to effectively manage surplus energy and mitigate energy wastage in scenarios with limited available resources. Through this research, we contribute to the development of optimized planning strategies for island microgrids, facilitating the integration of renewable energy sources and enhancing their operational efficiency.
