Abstract

The microgrid with renewable sources possesses stability issues. During the grid-connected
mode, these issues are taken care by the external grid. However in case of islanding, the distributed
generators within the microgrid, have to take care of these issues independently. It needs additional
backup like diesel generation or battery storage, which increases the overall capital and operation costs.
With the intervention of the V2G storage, these costs can be saved to some extent. However similar to the
renewable sources like wind and solar, the power from V2G is also fluctuating which may lead the
microgrid towards an uneconomical operation. Therefore an extensive operation-planning is needed to
deal with theseuncertainties, for the microgrid to be economically viable. In this context, the stochastic
programming has been applied to achievethe optimum results. The stochastic scenarios for wind speed,
solar radiation, V2G power and load fluctuation have been generated using the Markov chain Monte Carlo
method. The optimized operation-planning aims to minimize the total net present cost, size of the fixed
storage and fossil fuel emissions subject to constraints. The simulations have been performed using
Matlab/Simulink, HOMER and Excel. The simulation results show that the V2G technology substantially
decrease the total net present cost. Moreover for such a microgrid the total net present cost and fossil fuel
emissions conflict with each other.
