Abstract
Optimal allocation and economic dispatch of the distributed generators (DGs) and electric vehicles (EVs) are very important to achieve resilience operating of future microgrids. This paper presents a new energy management concept of interfacing EV charging stations with the microgrids. Optimal scheduling operation of DGs and the EVs is used to minimize the total combined operating and emission costs of a hybrid microgrid. The problem was solved using a mixed integer quadratic programming (MIQP) approach. Different kinds of distributed generators with realistic constraints and charging stations for various EVs with the view to optimizing the overall microgrid performance are investigated. The results have convincingly revealed that discharging EVs could reduce the total cost of the microgrid operation.
