Comparative Analysis of Different Types of Micro-grid Architectures and Controls
2018
An innovative and smart micro-grid model is an essentialfor the integration of distributed energy resources into the electrical power distribution network. There are various types of micro-grid architectures that have been designed and implemented in the last few years. These micro-grid architectures have their key advantages and limitations. This paper has been prepared with the objective to identify and address, key challenges and solutions for integration of micro-grid into the distribution network. It reviewsdifferent micro-grid architectures and control strategies which can help to address various challenges i.e. voltage imbalance, power quality, demand side management, smooth islandin…
A Virtual Tool for Load Flow Analysis in a Micro-Grid
2020
This paper proposes a virtual tool for load flow analysis in energy distribution systems of micro-grids. The solution is based on a low-cost measurement architecture, which entails low-voltage power measurements in each secondary substation and a voltage measurement at the beginning of the medium voltage (MV) feeder. The proposed virtual tool periodically queries these instruments to acquire the measurements. Then, it implements a backward&ndash
Power dispatching techniques as a finite state machine for a standalone photovoltaic system with a hybrid energy storage
2020
Standalone photovoltaic system (SPVS) is usually embedded with an energy storage unit to overcome the intermittency of photovoltaic (PV) generation as well as to address load variations in off-grid operation. In SPVS energy systems, batteries can serve as the long term energy storage and contributing to the large portion of the energy demand but to overcome the load intermittency, it necessitates a fast response energy storage embedded with the battery as a hybrid energy storage (HES) for dynamic loads (e.g., Electric Vehicle loads, emergency power management). In this work, Lead-Acid (LA) battery and supper capacitor (SC) array are used as the HES. HES helps not only in increasing more uti…
Integration of distributed energy systems in micro-grid architecture for making a virtual power plant
2015
This paper presents a novel concept for increasing the penetration level of distributed renewable energy systems into the main electricity grid. When increasing the renewable energy penetration, it is important to implement the frequency based power delivery in distributed generators and work as traditional synchronous generators. This can be achieved by improving the power processing unit of each renewable generation units to work as active generators. But in existing grid architecture, the grid frequency is controlled as one common variable over the electricity grid. With such a method, it is difficult to use frequency based power sharing in small distributed generators and participate in…
Online pricing for demand-side management in a low-voltage resistive micro-grid via a Stackelberg game with incentive strategies
2022
It has been demonstrated that online pricing mechanisms are a viable solution for demand side management in power systems. This study deals with the analysis and design of a droop-controlled low-voltage resistive AC micro-grid network system. Such a system is subjected to a dynamic demand obtained from an online pricing mechanism, which is proposed as a novelty in the study of micro-grids. This mechanism is derived from a variation of the Stackelberg game, which includes the use of incentive strategies. First, a configuration in which a supplier announces an incentive function and (Formula presented.) -consumers’ reaction to the resulting personalised price is presented. Then, a detailed st…
Efektywność energetyczna budynków mieszkalnych, z uwzględnieniem akumulacji energii
2017
W społeczeństwie polskim wzrasta świadomość znaczenia efektywności energetycznej budynków mieszkalnych. W pracy dokonano analiza dostępnych rozwiązań z zakresu wykorzystania odnawialnych źródeł energii w budynkach mieszkalnych, a także możliwości magazynowania lokalnie wytworzonego ciepła oraz energii elektrycznej. Dokonano również charakterystyki efektywności zastosowania różnego typu źródeł energii odnawialnej w ramach mikrosieci energetycznych, wyposażonych w systemy magazynowania energii elektrycznej oraz cieplnej.
