Integrated Design and Control of Renewable Energy Sources for Energy Management

Abstract

Growing population and expanding industry set off the demand for electrical energy and issues, such as the problem of peak load demand, emerge. To balance the supply and load demand problem, the energy management system has the vital role of Electric Peak shaving with the integration of microgrid into the utility grid. The combination of demand-side management with storable energy sources helps us resolve the matters concerned with the peak load demand. However, in a microgrid, whenever the distributed energy sources are interconnected, the DC bus link voltage will vary due to the inherent behavior of each source as they mainly depend on geographical conditions. This work proposes voltage droop control strategy to keep the DC bus link voltage at a constant value. Also, it gives an overlook of the present power sector scenario of India and a reassessment of the demand side management system and how it is utilized in electrical peak shaving.

Enhancement of Solar Cell Modeling with MPPT Command Practice with an Electronic Edge Filter

“…Also the methods that use the P&O suffer from oscillations which we always want to minimize. The method of effect of the DC/DC circuit voltage converter is practical [11], and may be unstable [12,14].…”

Hierarchical Control of a Low Voltage DC Microgrid with Coordinated Power Management Strategies

“…Authors in [15] proposed a multi-level novel reconfigurable hierarchical architecture for an AC MG to transfer its functionalities from a source-level control to system level control to supports long-term optimization of MG operation under normal conditions and front-line switching roles in emergency conditions. Authors in [16] proposed the design and control of integrated RESs for energy management. The peak load demand problem was resolved with a combination of demand side energy management and ESSs.…”

Voltage Regulation in a Radial Microgrid with High RES Penetration

“…When the penetration is increased, a part of the distribution feeder needs to be controlled and monitored separately by the distributed system operator. This part of the feeder may be regarded as a microgrid [2][3]. The increased penetration of RESs and their independent control gives to the system many advantages, such as increased available power, lesser generation from conventional power sources, increased power reliability, etc..…”

“…When tightly regulated, power electronic converters such as dc/dc converters feeding a load such as a battery, or dc/ac inverters driven loads are presumed to be CPLs. Furthermore, switching power supplies, which are found in the majority of mobile systems and inverter-based motor drive systems, act in the same way as CPLs [3,[5][6].…”
