| Summary: | Using renewable energy sources (RESs) has increased extensively to minimize global warming and greenhouse gases. This increase in the adoption of RESs has brought a considerable alteration in the topologies of traditional power networks to become novel power networks along with microgrids (MGs). An MG can be defined as a system integrating different types of energy sources and control devices. Nevertheless, the controllability of an MG is not straightforward. ε-Variable-based propositional logic control (P-PLC) strategies are practical techniques for designing control strategies in MGs. The P-PLC method makes the control structure more flexible. However, this method is not optimal. On the contrary, switched rule-based control (S-RBC) is a more effective and advanced method to control an MG than other control techniques. Nonetheless, the implementation of the S-RBC is not straightforward. To address these issues, this work suggests a novel systems approach method called the extended optimal P-PLC, created by integrating the P-PLC-based control method with the S-RBC method. This novel technology revealed a considerable improvement in optimizing an MG’s energy management and enhanced the efficiency and performance of the MG’s control structure. These case studies demonstrate that the suggested extended optimal P-PLC method (i) reduces the operational cost of MG by roughly 28%, (ii) increases the photovoltaic (PV) utilization by nearly 45%, and (iii) penalizes the accumulators to prevent charging from the grid. By converting the results of S-RBC to the P-PLC method, our novel extended optimal P-PLC considerably improves the efficiency and performance of the MG’s control structure. |
