Abstract
This paper seeks to enhance volt-var control strategies within reconfigurable microgrids by integrating innovative technologies of power-to-hydrogen (P2H) via electrolyzers and hydrogen-to-power (H2P) through fuel cells. Specifically, it focuses on the simultaneous coordination of electrolyzer, hydrogen storage, and fuel cell alongside on-load tap changers, smart PV inverters, renewable energy sources, diesel generators, and electric vehicle aggregation (EVA) within the microgrid system. Additionally, dynamic network reconfiguration is employed to enhance microgrid flexibility, facilitate power sharing, and improve the overall system adaptability. Given the inherent unpredictability linked to resources, the unscented transformation method is employed to account for these uncertainties in the proposed volt-var control strategy. Finally, the model is formulated as a convex optimization problem and is solved by GUROBI, which leads to having a time-efficient volt-var model with high accuracy. To assess the effectiveness of the model, it is eventually examined on a modified 33-bus microgrid in several cases. Through the results of the under-study microgrid, the developed volt-var control is a great remedy to the simultaneous operation of EVA, P2H and H2P in reconfigurable microgrids with flatter voltage profile across the microgrid.
