Advancing MG Energy Management: A Rolling Horizon Optimization Framework for Three-Phase Unbalanced Networks Integrating Convex Formulations

摘要

Real-world three-phase microgrids face two interconnected challenges: 1. time-varying uncertainty from renewable generation and demand, and 2. persistent phase imbalances caused by uneven distributed energy resources DERs, load asymmetries, and grid faults. Conventional energy management systems fail to address these challenges holistically and static optimization methods lack adaptability to real-time fluctuations, while balanced three-phase models ignore critical asymmetries that degrade voltage stability and efficiency. This work introduces a dynamic rolling horizon optimization framework specifically designed for unbalanced three-phase microgrids. Unlike traditional two-stage stochastic approaches that fix decisions for the entire horizon, the rolling horizon algorithm iteratively updates decisions in response to real-time data. By solving a sequence of shorter optimization windows, each incorporating the latest system state and forecasts, the method achieves three key advantages: Adaptive Uncertainty Handling by continuously re plans operations to mitigate forecast errors. Phase Imbalance Correction by dynamically adjusts power flows across phases to minimize voltage deviations and losses caused by asymmetries, and computational Tractability, i.e., shorter optimization windows, combined with the mathematical mhodel, enable better decision making holding accuracy. For comparison purposes, we derive three optimization models: a nonlinear nonconvex model for high-fidelity offline planning, a convex quadratic approximation for day-ahead scheduling, and a linearized model to important for theoretical reasons such as decomposition algorithms.
