Industrial microgrids consist of many
factories with distributed energy resources (DERs) and local
electric loads that rely heavily on combined heat and power
(CHP) systems. In this paper, a unit commitment (UC) for
industrial microgrids is formulated to minimize the cost of
generating electricity and heat via CHP systems and boilers.
As each DER and boiler may have an individual owner, an
approach is also presented to fairly allocate the cost saving
among factories participating in the generation process. The
proposed methods are implemented in an industrial
microgrid consisting of 12 factories divided into three
groups according to their levels of participations in the
energy generation. Simulation results are analyzed to show
the effectiveness of the proposed approaches
