This paper develops a supervisory control and data acquisition (SCADA) system to monitor an islanded DC microgrid including wind turbine, photovoltaics, and battery units. The SCADA system is based on KingView 6.55, and establishes data communication between the host and the slave computers through intelligent modules and different communication techniques. The developed SCADA system can monitor real-time...
As the intelligent control and detection technology improving, more and more smart devices/sensors can be used to increase the living standard. In order to integrate the Internet of Things (IoT) with microgrid (MG), an enhanced hierarchical control strategy for IoT-based home scale MG is proposed in this paper. Physical smart devices/sensors and inverters are defined at the primary level. Electrical...
Smart metering devices have become an essential part in the development of the current electrical network toward the paradigm of Smart Grid. These meters present in most of the cases, functionalities whose analysis capabilities go further beyond the basic automated meter readings for billing purposes, integrating home or building area networks (HAN/BAN), alarms and power quality indicators in some...
In this paper, a decentralized control methodology based on hierarchical control levels is investigated. In recent years, efforts have been made to develop standards for Microgrids (MGs), and the decentralized control method evaluated here is based on the IEC/ISO 62264 standard. Since the main challenge to decentralized control in Battery Energy Storage Systems (BESSs) is the different levels of stored...
Advanced metering infrastructures (AMI) are required for the future smart grid operation by providing useful information about users' behavior as well as grid performance such as the consumption and power quality. This paper is focused on the development of a LabVIEW application for user-interface and implementation of a Home Energy Management System (HEMS) based on AMI.
In this paper, an energy management system is defined as a flexible architecture. This proposal can be applied to home and residential areas when they include generation units. The system has been integrated and tested in a grid-connected microgrid prototype, where optimal power generation profiles are obtained by considering economic aspects.
Due to the increasing penetration of distributed generation resources, more and more microgrids can be found in distribution systems. This paper proposes a phasor measurement unit based distance protection strategy for microgrids in distribution system. At the same time, transfer tripping scheme is adopted to accelerate the tripping speed of the relays on the weak lines. The protection methodology...
Smart meters are the cornerstone in the new conception of the electrical network or Smart Grid (SG), providing detailed information about users' energy consumption and allowing the suppliers to remotely collect data for billing. Nevertheless, their features are not only useful for the energy suppliers, but they can also play a big role in the control of the Microgrid since the recorded power and energy...
Smart buildings and homes are becoming a key player in the future green and sustainable energy grid, due to the integration of distributed energy sources and the demand control capabilities. Advanced smart metering systems are required for the operation of the future smart grid. Smart metering systems allow to monitor the energy consumption of end-users, while provides useful information regarding...
