Optimal Scheduling of Microgrid Using GAMS

In a power supply system, a wide range of optimization problems exist where different processes are involved. Economic dispatch is an important optimization task in a power system. The information transparency and security of microgrid systems improve by microgrid economic dispatch. It also makes the power grid a very clear, safe, efficient, and reliable development path. Here this paper explains the solution to the economic dispatch problem for the different generating units including both conventional and non-conventional sources in a microgrid using the General Algebraic Modeling System (GAMS). The main purpose of this paper is to optimize the problem and minimize the total power generation cost. The scheduling problem is solved by using GAMS from which the total cost is found to be 119$ at 2.84 MW load.
