In this study, a multi-objective structure for a PV/WT/BES microgrid optimization in a 33-bus network was implemented for minimizing the annual energy losses, to minimize the network bus voltage oscillations, and minimize the cost of purchasing power from the microgrid by the network. The problem is implemented in three scenarios.
As far as we are aware, using anticipated data for solving the microgrid optimization problem in the network is a more accurate method of optimizing the system for the day ahead of schedule than using actual or estimated data.

With the increasing integration of multi-energy microgrid (MEM) and shared energy storage station (SESS), the coordinated operation between MEM and energy storage systems becomes critical. To solve the problems of high operating costs in independent configuration of microgrid and high influence of renewable energy output uncertainty.
A multi-energy microgrid system with shared energy storage station is constructed. A multi-stage robust optimal scheduling model is proposed. The column and constraint generation algorithm with an alternating iteration strategy is proposed.
This indicates that the shared energy storage model significantly reduces the microgrid's dependence on the grid while enhancing the utilization rate of energy storage. This is because SESS has lower power losses and costs, making microgrids more inclined to use energy storage systems when providing SESS services.
Control of microgrid with a considerable number of distributed energy resources, small energy storage units, and electric vehicles require flexible and scalable control strategies.
Due to the decreased demand for energy storage in the microgrid cluster, with the budget unchanged, the microgrid cluster increases the investment in self-built energy storage. It reduces the investment in leased energy storage to reduce the lifecycle cost of SES.
Among them, the power and capacity configurations of self-built energy storage show a downward trend; the power and capacity configurations of leased energy storage keep increasing. This indicates that the microgrid cluster system reduces operational risks by increasing SES power and capacity configurations.
