Energy Storage Planning and Economic Dispatch of Microgrid Considering Power to Gas

New energy has been vigorously promoted for its advantages such as cleanliness, large reserves and renewability. Recently, power-to-gas (P2G) technology has provided a new idea for energy conversion, which helps to improve energy efficiency. In view of the current high penetration rate of photovoltaics, the impact of three measures with regard to energy conversion, energy storage configuration and demandside response on the economics of the microgrid and the optimal scheduling of the microgrid are explored. Firstly, a microgrid scheduling model with P2G device is built; Secondly, a bi-level planning model for the economic cost of the microgrid scheduling is presented. The upper layer will be based on absolutely accommodation of photovoltaics as the prerequisite to conFigure the optimal energy storage capacity; Then lower layer performs optimized scheduling under the upper model to ensure the economy of the microgrid. Finally, a comparison example is used to analyze the optimal energy storage capacity in different scenarios and an optimized scheduling scheme is given.
