Abstract
This study proposes a one-layer deterministic Mixed-Integer Nonlinear Programming to design and schedule a PTG-integrated microgrid. The key contribution is that optimal equipment selection, design, and scheduling, considering the PTG system at the core of the problem, are determined just in a single formulation. Scenarios based on different carbon dioxide taxes and natural gas prices are investigated. Only one wind turbine farm is chosen when the carbon dioxide tax is increased from 50 $/ton to 100 $/ton. On the other hand, when the natural gas price is increased from 1.548 $/m3 to 1.72 $/m3, two wind turbine farms are selected. Solar panel arrays are not chosen in all the scenarios. Generated power by solar panels is not enough for installation despite their much lower carbon dioxide emissions and negligible operational costs. Consequently, the optimal equipment selections may change linked to the natural gas price and carbon dioxide tax.
