Operation and Control of Microgrids Using IoT (Internet of Things)

Abstract

The current microgrid power management system is undergoing a significant and drastic overhaul. The integration of existing electrical infrastructure with an information and communication network is an inherent and significant need for microgrid classification and operation in this case. Microgrid technology's most important features: 1) Full duplex communication; 2) Advanced metering infrastructure; 3) Renewable and energy resource integration; 4) Distribution automation and complete monitoring, as well as overall power system control. A microgrid's communication infrastructure is made up of several hierarchical communication networks. Microgrid applications can frequently be found in numerous aspects of energy consumption. Because it provides a spontaneous communicational network, the Internet of Things plays a fundamental and crucial role in Microgrid infrastructure. This paper covers the deployment of a comprehensive energy management system for microgrid communication infrastructure based on the Internet of Things (IoT). This paper discusses microgrid operations and controls using the Internet of Things (IoT) architecture. Microgrids make use of IoT-enabled technologies, in conjunction with power grid equipment, which are enabling local networks to provide additional services on top of the essential supply of electricity to local networks that operate in parallel with or independently of the regional grid. Local balancing, internal blockage management, and request for support marketplace or grid operator activities are examples of auxiliary services provided by the microgrid that can add value to each end-user and other true stakeholders. Different technologies, architectures, and applications that use IoT as a key element with the main purpose of preserving and regulating innovative smart microgrids in accordance with modern optimization features and regulations are designed to update and improve efficiency, resiliency, and economics.

Application of Advance Energy Storage System in IoT and Blockchain

“…The storage system capacity and performance depend on the load and the battery construction parameters, materials. In this research article author, calculate the performance of solar power system with battery storage using two modules with standalone mode [6]. The result shows the performance of system goes down due to ambient temperature but no solution to improve temperature suitability.…”

Evolution of Microgrid and Hierarchical Control of Microgrid

“…Microgrids join IoT-empowered innovation with power framework hardware to empower neighbourhood organizations to convey additional administrators on top of the fundamental stock of power to nearby organizations that capacity in corresponding with or freely of the territorial matrix. Various advancements, designs, and applications that utilize the Internet of Things as a critical part and guidelines are being created to refresh and further develop productivity, versatility, and financial aspects [11], [12]. Microgrid applications can be found in a wide scope of energy utilization situations.…”

A Complete Design of Smart Wind Farm Enriched with Novel Anemometer

“…Stanly Wilson and Kirubanand [13] addressed the data collection strategies for wind turbine management. The IoT based energy management system for wind employing microgrids was inherently investigated in [14][15][16]. The significance of wind power system and study on optimizing the power is conducted in [17 & 18].…”
