Energy Management of Small Scale Microgrid
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Microgrid
Abstract
This paper presents the development of an efficient energy management system (EMS) tailored for a small-scale hybrid microgrid integrating wind and solar energy sources with battery storage. The proposed system encompasses the design and implementation of wind and solar energy conversion systems, complemented by battery storage, power electronic converters, and control algorithms. The EMS is engineered to maintain power balance amidst the variability inherent in renewable energy generation and fluctuating load demands. Operating in a standalone mode, the microgrid serves as a versatile testing platform for various control algorithms and energy management strategies under diverse conditions. To validate the effectiveness of the control algorithms, real-time control is executed through rapid control prototyping, facilitating experimental testing and validation. This small-scale renewable energy-based microgrid offers a valuable test bench for research and development in smart grid applications, contributing to advancements in sustainable energy solutions
