Abstract

MONTOYA, Oscar Danilo; GIL-GONZALEZ, Walter  and  MOLINA-CABRERA, Alexander. Exact minimization of the energy losses and the CO2 emissions in isolated DC distribution networks using PV sources. Dyna rev.fac.nac.minas [online]. 2021, vol.88, n.217, pp.178-184.  Epub Nov 22, 2021. ISSN 0012-7353.  https://doi.org/10.15446/dyna.v88n217.93099.

This paper addresses the optimal location and sizing of photovoltaic (PV) sources in isolated direct current (DC) electrical networks, considering time-varying load and renewable generation curves. The mathematical formulation of this problem corresponds to mixed-integer nonlinear programming (MINLP), which is reformulated via mixed-integer convex optimization: This ensures the global optimum solving the resulting optimization model via branch & bound and interior-point methods. The main idea of including PV sources in the DC grid is to minimize the daily energy losses and greenhouse emissions produced by diesel generators in isolated areas. The GAMS package is employed to solve the MINLP model, using mixed and integer variables; also, the CVX and MOSEK solvers are used to obtain solutions from the proposed mixed-integer convex model in the MATLAB. Numerical results demonstrate important reductions in the daily energy losses and the harmful gas emissions when PV sources are optimally integrated into DC grid.

Keywords : minimization of greenhouse gas emissions; renewable energy resources; daily demand curves; convex optimization; diesel generators.
