Maximizing Microgrid Efficiency: A Unified Approach with Extended Optimal Propositional Logic Control by Muhammed Cavus

“…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.…”
