Abstract
- The accuracy of models to capture the uncertainty of renewables significantly affects the planning and operation of renewable energy-based stand-alone (REB-SA) microgrids. This paper aims to first study different stochastic and deterministic models for renewables, then evaluate the performance of an REB-SA microgrid planning problem and provide qualitative and quantitative comparisons. A modified Metropolis-coupled Markov chain Monte Carlo simulation is considered for the first time in the planning of an REB-SA microgrid to predict the behavior of renewables with minimum iterations. The modified model is benchmarked against two prevalent models including the retrospective model with worst-case scenarios and the Monte Carlo simulation. The operations of three designed microgrids (by these three methods) are evaluated using the last three-year historical data of a city in northern Sweden including solar radiation, wind speed, the water flow of a river, and load consumption. The impacts of the considered methods on using PV panels and hydrogen systems are investigated. The results verify that the modified model decreases the risk of planning and operation of an REB-SA microgrid from the energy and power shortage viewpoints. Moreover, the designed microgrid with the modified model can cope with all possible scenarios from economic, technical, and environmental viewpoints. • Uncertainties of renewable energy are major concerns for replacing fossil-fuel energy. • A modified Metropolis-coupled MCMCS is applied to the microgrid planning problem. • Uncertainty modeling methods on microgrid planning and operation are benchmarked. • Microgrid planning is highly affected by different uncertainty modeling methods. • The planning results besides the benchmarks show economic and reliability improvement.
