Modeling of a Smart Grid System Using Real Time Data οn Neplan
2013
The Institute for Energy and Transport (IET) is one of the seven institutes of the Joint Research Centre, which is a Directorate-General of the European Commission. IET is based both in Petten, the Netherlands, and Ispra, Italy, and has a multidisciplinary team of around three hundred academic, technical and support staff members. The mission of IET is to provide support to European Union policies in order to ensure sustainable, safe, secure and efficient energy production, distribution and use. The Energy Security Unit (ESU) is part of IET based in Petten and Ispra. A research action set up within this unit is devoted to studies on smart electricity systems (SES) and operates a Smart Grids…
A Review of Nanogrid Technologies for Forming Reliable Residential Grid
2020
Nanogrid is a scale down version of Microgrid. Nanogrid (NG) forms the residential grid with the sources like solar PV, diesel generator, fuel cell and battery based energy storage as a backup for supporting autonomous operation of NG. This paper is focused on portraying the importance of NG for rural electrification of India. The source-load coordination in the NG will ensure the optimal power flow in the grid. This paper has reviewed two most important control techniques i.e. centralized and decentralized for ensuring source-load coordination in the NG. Interfacing converters are the important constituents of NG to dispatch the power from intermittent renewable energy sources to load. Dep…
Hybrid Energy System for Rural Electrification in Sri Lanka: Design Study
2015
Off-grid hybrid renewable energy based power system for rural electrification has become an attractive solution for areas where grid electricity is not feasible. Depending on the availability of the resources, single energy source or a combination of several sources, including an energy storage system is used in an off-grid hybrid energy system. As there can be several candidates, the optimum sizing of the components against resource potential, cost and reliability is a vital issue. This chapter presents a study of optimum sizing of a renewable sources based off-grid hybrid energy system that is designed for electrifying a rural community in the Siyambalanduwa area in Sri Lanka. The communi…
