This paper discusses how to achieve high PV penetrations for a hybrid diesel-PV micro-grid via the means of a cloud forecasting system. The micro-grid control system utilizes cloud forecasts to forecast PV transients and manage online diesel generation. Simulation results for the test micro-grid showed that an array size of 2 MW achieved an energy penetration of 30.8% with «11.5 annual faults. Additionally,...
Recent years have seen a significant number of low-cost (sub-$100) Linux-based microcontroller systems introduced to the market. Initially targeted to the educational and hobbyist markets, the low cost, small physical package, low power consumption and high compute capability of these microcontrollers has made them interesting to research and technical communities. Many of the applications these platforms...
The divergent needs of the various microgrid participants make the dispatch in microgrids more complicated than typical methods. A review of the experience in Fort Collins suggests that regulations should be developed to address the potential financial conflict issues where generation companies may see microgrids as competition, and also that the cost of integrating assets into a microgrid need to...
Energy Management Systems monitor and control the behavior of an underlying system, allowing it to fulfill its primary purpose at the same time balancing across multiple constraints including cost optimization, system reliability, and environmental considerations. Examples of such systems include building energy management systems, where electrical and HVAC resources are optimized to deliver human...
