This paper proposes a distribution optimal power
flow (D-OPF) model for the operation of microgrids. The proposed
model minimizes not only the operating cost, including
fuel cost, purchasing cost and demand charge, but also several
performance indices, including voltage deviation, network power
loss and power factor. It co-optimizes the real and reactive power
form distributed generators (DGs) and batteries considering their
capacity and power factor limits. The D-OPF is formulated
as a mixed-integer linear programming (MILP). Numerical
simulation results show the effectiveness of the proposed model.
