Load Management Optimization for Islanded Microgrids under Brazilian Regulatory Normative

In this work a Mixed Integer Linear Programming (MILP) approach is proposed to model and optimize the operation of islanded microgrids. The objective is to attend the consumers power demand guaranteeing service quality requirements and considering battery operation costs. A novel formulation is proposed using a MILP approach to model complex penalization polices for energy supply interruption. A case study of a Brazilian utility in the context of local polices is presented. The obtained result shows this approach as a promising solution feasible to be integrated in Energy Management Systems.
