Charging Dispatching Strategy for Islanded Microgrid Battery-Swapping Stations

To date, few studies have addressed the charging and discharging schedules of electric vehicle battery-swapping stations in China’s isolated microgrids. Given that battery-swapping is expected to become increasingly widespread, this study innovatively considered distributed power sources, such as wind power and photovoltaic power, to analyze battery-swapping station operation and isolated microgrid operation schedules. Considering the needs of potential future communities that might depend on electric vehicle battery-swapping stations, two scenarios were analyzed, and the most effective integer planning method was adopted. The international algorithm software program YALMIP + CPLEX was used to address the problem, and simulation results proved that the proposed model and its solution method could effectively affect the safe operation and scheduling of islanded microgrid battery-swapping stations and reduce the cost of islanded microgrid operation, with significant advantages.
