MPC Based Energy Management System for Hosting Capacity of PVs and Customer Load with EV in Stand-Alone Microgrids

Abstract

This paper presents the improvements of the hosting capacity of photovoltaics (PVs) and electric vehicles (EVs) in a stand-alone microgrid (MG) with an energy storage system (ESS) by consider-ing a model predictive control (MPC) based energy management system. The system is configured as an MG, including PVs, an ESS, a diesel generator (DG), and several loads with EVs. The DG is controlled to operate at rated power and the MPC algorithm is used in a stand-alone MG, which supplies the energy demanded for several loads with EVs. The hosting capacity of the load in-cluding the EV and PVs can be expanded through the ESS to the terminal node of the microgrid. In this case, the PVs and the load can be connected in excess of the capacity of the diesel genera-tor, and each bus in the feeder complies with the voltage range required by the grid. The effec-tiveness of the proposed algorithm to resolve the hosting capacity is demonstrated by numerical simulations.

Increasing Unbalanced Distribution Network’s Hosting Capacity for Distributed Energy Resources by Voltage Regulators

“…The (18) expresses the relationship between the source and load side three-phase voltages of the VR installed in the grid.…”

“…Operational resources such as generation curtailment and EV charging coordination systems were adjusted to ensure electric distribution system operation while avoiding technical limit violations and decreasing energy losses to maximize the network's HC for DGs and EVs. The study presented in [18] examines how a model-predictive-control-based energy management system can increase the HC for PVs and EVs in a standalone microgrid with an energy storage system (ESS).…”

Electric Vehicle Battery Storage Concentric Intelligent Home Energy Management System Using Real Life Data Sets

“…DSM can improve energy production and utilization, lowering power costs and CO 2 emissions [20]. To improve this approach, other studies build probabilistic models that may represent the charging load profile in a better way when compared to deterministic charging patterns [3]. Javaid et al [2] applied the higher additional prices when the consumer's load demands increase above the suggested power bound to abstain from enormous consumer load requests due to minimum energy price slots.…”

“…Limitation(s) Grid PV EV [3] According to this study, using battery storage for PV and EV hosting capacity optimization as well as grid voltage maintenance was critical.…”

“…This is due to a lack of measurement technologies to monitor the grid states comprehensively. Due to the low inertia of an electric grid with a high RESs absorption, it may have frequency and voltage stability concerns, making the system's steady operation more challenging [3].…”
